❝In this system, our system, the slaves are unaware, both of their status and of their masters, who exist in a world apart, and where the shackles are hidden amidst reams of, unreachable legalese. It is a result of massive, pervasive corruption of the legal profession. When it takes a whistleblower to sound the alarm, it is cause for even greater concern. 'Cause it signals that, democracy's checks and balances have all failed, and that severe, instability could be just, just around the corner.❞

I understand the vision behind The Laundromat, and it's unfortunate that it wasn't quite achieved. To me, it felt like an attempt at making another The Big Short, what with the absolutely stacked cast and fourth-wall breaks, but it was all very convoluted and unnecessarily complicated; it would've been better if the three stories were either more clearly distinct or more clearly interconnected, because it was honestly a hassle trying to follow the characters and everything going on. I will say, the cast did fantastically, especially my queen Meryl, as well as Gary Oldman and Antonio Banderas, and it was shot really well, too, but on the whole it wasn't thr best film to watch just before bed when my brain was melting from tiredness.
