The China Hustle Ratings & Reviews
Sarah G Vincent Views
Sarah Vincent
If documentaries could be classified according to a fictional genre, "The China Hustle" would be a horror film teasing a sequel now starring Ali Baba as the next Michael Myers.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
Think the trade deficit is a source of economic concern? The China Hustle makes the imminent trade war look like a fight over small change.
Paste Magazine
Andy Crump
If all of this sounds dry on paper, it's remarkably propulsive and even entertaining on the screen.
The Patriot Ledger
Al Alexander
This is one of those documentaries -- like "Abacus" and "Enron" -- that make you boiling mad at greedy bankers, ineffectual politicians and a financial system shedding regulations like the snakes that these people are shed their skin.
The Young Folks
Nathanael Hood
It's impossible to watch The China Hustle without feeling a mixture of incredulous outrage and fury at all the corruption, all the complicity, all the injustice.
RogerEbert.com
Tina Hassannia
The frank, level-headed tone of the documentary does not transform into the righteous anger that such financial corruption calls for.
Washington City Paper
Noah Gittell
Ultimately, it does what an issue documentary must do and nothing more: spell out a problem, underline its urgency, and leave the viewer wondering what, if anything, they can do about it.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Makes a sound case for greater regulation of financial systems.
Den of Geek
Kayti Burt
The China Hustle makes for an infuriating (and sometimes engaging) watch, but it falls far short of putting this particular financial practice into the context of global capitalism.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
At a time when financial regulations have been gutted, stock market indexes reel, and trade wars threaten, Jed Rothstein's slick and revealing documentary "The China Hustle" should only add to the anxiety and gloom.
Film Journal International
Chris Barsanti
Jed Rothstein's hellraiser of a documentary [...] is as infuriating as it is hair-raising.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
A documentary may simply be the wrong delivery mechanism for a byzantine expos that cries out for detailed news reporting.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
If the film accomplishes its goal, it's a win-win-lose proposition for everyone concerned.
AwardsCircuit.com
Shane Slater
An eye-opening yet somewhat underwhelming documentary.
Nonfics (Substack)
Andrew Karpan
The documentary's banal incredulousness at its subject suggests Rothstein should watch a few seasons of The Sopranos.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
A brisk, entertaining documentary that shows how the world of investment works.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
Rothstein builds a persuasive case, laying out with clarity and disgust a hugely lucrative and destructive new investment scam that boomed in the years immediately following the 2008 financial crash.
The Film Experience
Glenn Dunks
The idea of a documentary about short stocks and Chinese inflation does indeed sound about as dry as can possibly be, yet Rothstein is smart in selection his subjects and they all offer the film a zip.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
An infuriating tale of stocks and fraud, but one that's easy for non-traders to understand.
Variety
Scott Tobias
Rothstein's irreverent, can-you-believe-this sense of humor makes the anti-capitalist message go down even easier.
