Boom Bust Boom Ratings & Reviews
TheIndependentCritic.com
Richard Propes
The film weaves together animation, puppetry, expert insight from Nobel Prize winners and economists, and even songs to explain economics.
In These Times
Eileen Jones
Treating our historically specific economic system as an extension of human nature, one which can be diagnosed by studying incipient monkey-capitalists, isn't much of an analysis.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A spunky and creative critique of neoclassical economics.

Louis Proyect
Whoever could have dreamed that economics could be so much fun? I guess that goes with the territory when it is explained by people of the left in a film in the Monty Python tradition.
Common Sense Media
S. Jhoanna Robledo
Monty Python alum explains financial crisis, with puppets.
Movie Mezzanine
Mallory Andrews
It's a terrible conceit with terrible execution...
New York Times
Ken Jaworowski
A remarkably enjoyable, and sometimes very funny, documentary about a frightening topic.
AV Club
Noel Murray
For those who aren't automatically turned off by the idea of an issue-doc that Schoolhouse Rock-ifies a serious, grown-up subject, Boom Bust Boom is a worthwhile way to spend an hour.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
The point of Boom Bust Boom, a friendly little pic hosted by Monty Python's Terry Jones, is that the world is little closer to acknowledging the causes of that trauma, and until we digest its lessons, something similar is bound to happen again.
Village Voice
Chris Packham
Jones presents a stark picture of a bifurcated economic system: the real one, in which ordinary citizens struggle; and the financial economy, in which the livelihoods of citizens are leveraged by the wealthy for speculative bets.
Film Journal International
Chris Barsanti
[A] breezy, puppet- and song-filled jaunt through the dismal science of economics.
Compuserve
Harvey S. Karten
This Monty Python-esque treatment of the 2008 economic crash makes your losses almost enjoyable.
