	Author	Review
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"'Madoff' feels padded, but also warped with artificial cliffhangers, corny ad-break musical stings, cheap attempts to add thriller elements (...) Still (...) the movie has enough juicy details to remain very watchable, and Dreyfuss is having a great time playing this awful man."	NEU
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"What the production lacks in moral dimension or psychological acuity it occasionally makes up for in entertainment value (...) 'Madoff' is Mr. Dreyfuss’s show (...) he’s fun to watch."	NEU
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"Dreyfuss gives a performance that is merely serviceable rather than memorable (...) The story is still quite a corker, though--certainly enough to fill four-ish hours of prime-time commercial television, filled with sadness and schadenfreude."	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"In terms of portraying the numerous subplots surrounding this story, 'Madoff' is a pretty fair juggling act. As for making the tale actually spark to life, that’s a bit of prestidigitation that this straightforward account ultimately can’t muster."	NEU
United States	Joanne Ostrow Denver Post	"Dreyfuss is sensational as Madoff."	POS
