Reception[edit]
In a review for the Moving Pictures magazine Ron Holloway writes that Wagenhofer polarizes some of the issues with heavy-handed arguments, but also suggests he's created a provocative documentary containing a wealth of information.[2]
Writing in the Financial Times, Christopher Caldwell praised the film's beauty, going on to state that Wagenhofer has a perfect sense for pictorial composition and even for sound. He also writes that film is an imperfect medium for providing an accurate view of complex economic developments. Caldwell goes on to say that "Let’s Make Money is not a serious alternative economic argument. It is nonetheless a film of overwhelming power. It resembles an art film such as Koyaanisqatsi , Godfrey Reggio's haunting, wordless indictment of the frenzy of modern life".[1]
