Well, this won the Oscar for best documentary for a couple of reasons. First, the 2008 financial collapse was a hot button topic - and the Academy loves those hot buttons.
It's also a good movie. It's got a good narrator (Matt Damon) and some spicy interviews. Nevertheless, it's a total downer. If you have read the paper over the last 4 years, you can probably skip it. If you want to watch, make sure you have something on hand to cheer yourself up after viewing. Maybe some internet shopping? Drugs?
