Something to Spend Your Hard-Earned Money On

Posted by on June 8 at 16:51 PM

Jen Graves suggests a film for tonight:

‘Maxed Out’
(SIFF FILM)
For the love of God, do not attend this awesome film if you cannot afford it, unless you want to end up like several of this movie’s subjects: dead. Don’t let the documentary tag fool you—this is a horror film, about the rapaciousness of credit-card companies, banks, and collection agencies, and the destruction they cause in the lives of regular families made vulnerable by the simple vicissitudes of life and the complicity of senators and presidents. Be afraid. (Broadway Performance Hall, 1625 Broadway, 324-9996. 6:45 pm, $10.)
