Critic Reviews for The China Hustle

All Critics (34) | Top Critics (12) | Fresh (27) | Rotten (7)

  • 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.

    April 19, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

    Richard Whittaker

    Austin Chronicle

  • The frank, level-headed tone of the documentary does not transform into the righteous anger that such financial corruption calls for.

    March 30, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

    Tina Hassannia

  • In horror movies, monsters often lose their power to terrify once they come fully into the frame. But as Rothstein reveals the full shape and size of an ogre that has slipped into our financial markets, just try to calm your growing dread.

    Simon Houpt

    Globe and Mail

  • Makes a sound case for greater regulation of financial systems.

    Gary Goldstein

    Los Angeles Times

  • 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.

    March 29, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

    Peter Keough

    Boston Globe

  • The story gets a little repetitive after a while, but Rothstein does an even better job of explaining investment jargon than Adam McKay did in The Big Short, and he doesn't require gimmicks like putting Margot Robbie into a bathtub to do so.
