Drama Provides an extraordinary account of low cunning at the heart of Greece's 2015 financial bailout. The more defiant the left-wing Syriza government became, the more it was met with intimidation from some or duplicitous reassurance from others.

	Author	Review
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"For those interested in how the EU sausage is made — a process that Costa-Gavras mines both for its theatricality and seeming inanity — the film can be a gripping piece of infotainment"	POS
United Kingdom	Screendaily	"'The Big Short' provided a masterclass into how to adapt a non-fiction book about a financial crisis and its political fallout in a fresh and original way. 'Adults In The Room' doesn’t."	NEU
United States	Jessica Kiang Variety	"The film is worthily intended, meticulously researched and very dull"	NEG
	Fabien Lemercier Cineuropa	"From a material which could have been particularly dry (numbers, men in suits around big meeting tables, etc.), Costa-Gavras successfully creates a captivating, instructive and often amusing film"	POS
