	Media	Author	Review
		Pamela Pianezza Variety	"By giving it the aspect of a more traditional whodunit, Andò makes his story enjoyable by the general audience, as his elegant mise en scène and voluntarily classical composition (...) makes the narration instantly readable."

		Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"Tedious thriller has nothing new to say about banking and greed (...) You’ll learn nothing new and will find little entertainment in hearing your opinions espoused."
		Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times	"Boasting an impressive international cast, gorgeous cinematography and high production values (...) But Italian director Roberto Andò’s film feels entirely manufactured, distancing itself from its audience"
