Call Work: Sarah Robertson Margin

In Margin Call , Sarah Robertson is not a hero, nor is she a villain. She is a casualty of war. She is the woman who tried to play by the rules of a game that was rigged against her. Her ending—sitting in a cold office, agreeing to clean up a mess she predicted, for a bonus she didn't want—is one of the most quietly devastating moments in modern cinema.

When the crisis hits, she attempts to maintain her authority. She confronts the executives, trying to leverage her knowledge as security. However, the film highlights her powerlessness. Despite her high rank, she is excluded from the inner circle of decision-making until it is too late. sarah robertson margin call
