“First you must ask yourself…are you wealthy?”

The Laundromat on Netflix (2019) is quite good, and it’s an interesting way to make something like the Panama Papers more relatable. It seems that some films focus on the technology of the leak first (which I enjoy, of course), rather than how the physical world is impacted by the digital (which is more relatable and interesting).

Gary Oldman and Antonio Banderas are wonderful in the movie, they provide both comedy and information. In the educational technology field, this serving of “chocolate covered broccoli” is difficult – it’s either too much of one or the other. In The Laundromat, the satire is a perfect mix of alarming humor.

After watching The Laundromat we watched The Descendants, which is also a great film, and also deals with trusts, estates, and inheritance, among other things.

Maybe a rewatch of Knives Out, or The Grand Budapest Hotel are next on the movie list.
