What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star Diane De Beer  If the 2008 economic crash intriuges you, you will love this Wall Street thriller. It magnificently captures the overwhelming climate of greed that turned the world upside down. | 15 |  |
| Die Burger Paul Boekkooi Op rand van ekonomiese afgrond. | 15 | |
| Cape Times Stephen Farber Marginal thrills. | 10 |  |
| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert | 18 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli At some point in the future, there will probably be a definitive documentary about the causes and effects of the economic seizure that lies at Ground Zero of Margin Call. That film will undoubtedly be equally fascinating and troubling. But it's doubtful it will provide the mixture of drama and suspense to be found in J.C. Chandor's assured directorial debut. | 18 | |
