Starring Paul Dano, Seth Rogen, and America Ferrera, 'Dumb Money' is a smart look at a bonkers moment in Wall Street history.
This review was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the film being covered here wouldn't exist.
Written by Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo, and based on the book The Antisocial Network by Ben Mezrich, Dumb Money rarely focuses on one individual, but rather, the group of people that was impacted by this stock market anomaly. While Keith Gill is very much the ringleader of this trend, Dumb Money follows everyone from the 1% , to those who put their faith in the real Robin Hood of Keith Gill.
While Blum and Angelo’s screenplay excels at showing how easy it was for everyday people to bet against GameStop, Dumb Money does struggle in how to present the often toxic Reddit community of the WallStreetBets subreddit. Gillespie handles this by throwing a series of memes and videos on the screen and letting us see the mania that arose on the site, yet mostly ignores the noxious language and ideas thrown around liberally.
