A fantastic movie, dismanteling the inner core of capitalism in a world where everything becomesa question of supply and demand.

...well worth seeing just for Gyllenhaal’s spectacularly creepy performance.

This is a classic film, not just because every scene and line is casually beautiful and devoid of extraneous touches, but because its tone is mercilessly exact.

Sharp, dark, satirical and bone-rattlingly thrilling, with a career-peak turn from Jake Gyllenhaal.

...unfurls into a ghoulish and wickedly funny satire on journalism, the job market and self-help culture.
