Chasing Madoff

Aroview: Infamous for the 'Ponzi scheme' that defrauded thousands of investors of billions of dollars, Bernie Madoff is put to the sword in this fascinating – though maddeningly overwrought – documentary on the perpetrator of the biggest financial fraud in American history.

Still, as much as the director manhandles the material at his disposal – choosing to over-stylize events rather than stick to the damning facts – the film remains a vital examination of the wider problems spread through government and Wall Street in the wake of the world financial crisis.
