Sam Wollaston Guardian This personal take, the rage, adds power and poignancy. Who says a documentary needs to be entirely objective? Rated: 3/5 Feb 2, 2018 Full Review Matt Zoller Seitz New York Magazine/Vulture Dirty Money is the most fun you can have while being pissed off. Feb 2, 2018 Full Review Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic Dirty Money proves its thesis not just by exposing corporations, but also by rendering thoughtful, intimate portraits of individuals whose desire to accumulate wealth has transformed into a terminal kind of myopia. Jan 31, 2018 Full Review Alan French AwardsCircuit.com The breath of storytelling here is impressive, and with Gibney shepherding the series, it looks to be a hallmark of Netflix moving forward. Rated: 3.5/4 Oct 10, 2018 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Docu shares disturbing details about corporate greed. Rated: 3/5 Feb 6, 2018 Full Review Kahron Spearman The Daily Dot Armed with a dangerous, even rock star appeal, Dirty Money entertains as well as it informs across its six episodes. But you may need a shower afterward. Feb 1, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Gareth v Six tales of capitalism gone bad, that is told in a compelling and well researched manner. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/24/23 Full Review andres b Demasiado buena para que la permitan en USA. xd Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Jessica C This was way too boring for me. 6 episodes, each way too long and the topics are rather meh as well. Won't continue the series. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/21 Full Review Audience Member I've never enjoyed something that made me so upset. Get an inside look at why life sucks and then you die. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Must see, insights on corrupted system. The only issue is that it is presented as 'USA legal system is saving the world from these corrupted foreign companies' Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Love the topics, the pacing and camera work is kinda slow. There are awkward, maybe hopefully dramatic pauses that I could do without Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
