Reviews & comments
Empire Magazine
pressThis is intentionally jagged but nevertheless frustrating, a little too self-satisfied for its own good. Yet there are some great moments and, when it relaxes a bit, it has charm to spare.
The New York Times
pressFor a movie about how awful the world is and how it got that way, "The Laundromat" is kind of a lark.
Vanity Fair
pressThere's something indulgent about its many digressions, a dinner party guest yammering on and on rather than getting to the point.
Time Out
pressIt's like 'Titanic', only with 90 minutes of the iceberg regaling you with its ocean-liner-sinking skills while sipping a Mai Tai.
Hollywood Reporter
pressDespite the filmmaker's obvious smarts and oft-proven skills, there's a kind of off-putting effrontery about Soderbergh's approach here that rather sours the whole experience.
The Guardian
pressSoderbergh understands the importance of putting human faces to dry statistics. He reveals how the tentacles of financial misrule eventually extend to touch honest-to-God human lives.
Little White Lies
pressThe Laundromat is a fun ride while you're on it, but is probably a lesser entry into the director's esteemed personal canon.
