This is not a film that will be remembered for its high drama, but it wouldn't be surprising to see it studied in future years by scholars trying to gain perspective on a calamity that almost brought the world to itsknees. Feb 20, 2014 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

For all of Paulson's intelligent calm in front of the camera, he is telling an American horror story of massive proportions. Feb 13, 2014 | Full Review…

This highly sympathetic documentary profile of Paulson is slightly redundant, but it's also more factualized and instructive in its financial detail. Feb 13, 2014 | Full Review…

It's informative but not enlightening, and Mr. Berlinger packs in chattering news clips and a score that's audible under the interview. Jan 30, 2014 | Full Review…

Hank is basically a big love letter from Paulson to himself, and it's a mystery to me why Berlinger would lend his talents to such an effort. Apr 8, 2014 | Rating: 4/10 | Full Review…

Only essential if you missed every other doc on the recession or are incredibly invested in learning some unneeded details about Hank Paulson's life. Feb 20, 2014 | Rating: C | Full Review…

While you may not walk away fully grokking the subprime market or securitization, you'll get a sense that Paulson probably was the best person to deal with a very bad situation. Feb 20, 2014 | Full Review…

Any film about the global financial crisis that fails to consider subsidized risk, the illegality of credit default swaps, echo-chamber thinking and the like is irresponsible at best and deleterious at worst. And that's Hank. Feb 18, 2014 | Rating: D+ | Full Review…

The financial crisis is too complicated to reduce to a documentary aimed at general audiences. Still, this is a useful primer on what went wrong - and right - in 2008. Jan 30, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…
