Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

James Mottram

Like The Wolf of Wall Street and The Big Short, this absorbing true-life tale explores chicanery in the world of high finance. Paul Dano stars as Keith Gill, a stock-market guru who runs his YouTube channel under the name "Roaring Kitty". He advises his followers to buy into GameStop, an ailing high-street video game retailer that the Wall Street big boys are beating down on. Suddenly, the stock escalates, and day traders - dismissed as "dumb money" by the fat cats - get a chance to stick it to the man. Director Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya) is adept at making films inspired by real events, and this exhilarating ensemble piece is right on the money. The cast is exemplary, with standouts being America Ferrera as a nurse who invests and Seth Rogen cast against type as a billionaire. Pete Davidson, as Keith's slacker brother, feels out of place, but the film is otherwise an effective, propulsive exploration of community and solidarity.
