I don't know--it felt very balanced to me. It doesn't let the people who made these choices off the hook about it, or about their decision to choose a career based on money alone. But it does have a great amount of sympathy to the personal dilemma each of them faces when they realize everything they've worked for is a house of cards. You both see people who you thought had no principles sprout them, and people you thought had principles fail them.

Social Network felt a lot more biased to me. But I will not, Margin Call does fail the Bechdel Test. There is one female banker, played by Demi Moore, but she's not exactly sympathetic.
