Super smart and effortlessly entertaining, Dumb Money makes for quite the true-to-life crowd-pleaser! Yep, the film is brimming with raucous energy and passion, but it also stays grounded and never abandons the authenticity of it all. This is helped immensely by the talented cast of actors assembled. And while they each do their parts justice; the emotional crux of the film lies with Paul Dano’s Keith Gill. Dano, of course, nails it. His nuance amongst the insanity goes along way, as does the film’s funky editing style. Mixed up between the scenes of the many players featured (everyone from lowly investors to big time billionaires) are media clips and news bytes recapping the unprecedented details. It’s breezy and brisk, but never overly harried. Could there have been more time devoted to delving into certain characters? Absolutely, but that only speaks to the fact that everyone highlighted is worthy of following. Yes, this is a true David vs Goliath tale, and it’s certainly one you should take a risk on. What can I say, I like the stock!
