Dumb Money é o derradeiro conto de David vs. Golias, inspirado na louca história verídica ocorrida durante a pandemia na qual pequenos investidores derrotaram os grandes fundos de investimento, no fenómeno que ficou conhecido como “meme stocks”, com enfoque nos acontecimentos em torno das ações da GameStop (sim, a loja de videojogos de centro comercial). No início de 2021, Keith Gill, um célebre youtuber conhecido como “Roaring Kitty”, que numa abordagem humorística cobria os mercados de ações e criptomoedas, sugeriu num dos seus vídeos que pequenos investidores se juntassem a ele na defesa das ações da GameStop contra os fundos de investimento que estavam a forçar as vendas a descoberto, o que iria levar a empresa ao encerramento.

This film is a wild, true story of a modern-day mastermind who capitalized on the absurd yet clever investment in GameStop stock. It’s a thematically rich tale that might leave the older generation scratching their heads, while resonating with younger audiences only if they have some economic know-how. In short, it's a niche film with highly specific dialogue and a unique narrative flow. Typical of films with Seth Rogen, it's definitely not for everyone.

Another gripping and suspenseful true story based on real events that grabs you by the balls and doesn't let go. I'd easily classify it as the little sibling of this year's Air and Tetris, it's a David and Goliath battle where a group of amateur investors bet on Gamestop not to go bankrupt and in doing so, tear up Wall Street, shake up the world and make history thanks to one man who started it all. The likeable Paul Dano gives a great performance and Seth Rogen, who plays the arrogant money man, is a delight. Even for someone not familiar with the stock market and shares, the film is presented in a simple way, so that even an ignorant viewer can find their way around. Pete Davidson takes care of the humor and the overall tone of the film is very feel good. Once things get going, there's a nice stressful build-up where things really start to get tense and the emotions work, and it goes on like this until the finale, which includes my favourite lawsuit. Dumb Money serves up its story with tremendous style and fun that just about anyone can enjoy. 8/10.
