The Laundromat Review
“Based on actual secrets.” Steven Soderbergh’s The Laundromat opens up with this statement, identifying the film’s ties to the 2016 Panama Papers scandal in the United States. Loosely based on Pulitzer prize-winning Jake Bernstein’s Secrecy World, The Laundromat seeks to highlight the epidemic of tax evasion, off-shore bank accounts, and shell companies.
