The Laundromat will make your head spin.
Something terrible has happened. Ellen deserves compensation, but all she receives are cryptic documents and dodged phone calls. Her sadness turns to frustration—and her frustration to determination, as she realizes that someone is covering up something big.
Unfortunately, Ellen’s story gets lost in the wash. The movie is overloaded with narration and vignettes that try to explain the basics and the complexities of the financial system. All this does is interrupt a story of injustice that is clear enough on its own.
