Review of The Laundromat (2019) by Ehuisman — 19 Apr 2020
Honest in its intentions, but poor in execution, The Laundromat lets a lot of stardom go to waste. The extravagant portrayal of tax evasion undercuts the seriousness of this problem, turning both perpetrators and victims into caricatures.
What sticks is how eager its makers are to push their unsubtle ideology onto their audience, climaxing into Streep's finale rant on campaign financing laws - which has very little to do with the problem at hand.
Because these views are so aggressively communicated, they are ultimately not communicated at all.
