Plot: An amateur investor who regularly posts on YouTube and Reddit bets heavily on GameStop, only to kick off a mini-revolution where many of his followers invest in the stock, bringing it to an incredible high that costs the hedge funds who shorted the stock billions.
Review: Craig Gillespie’s Dumb Money is one of those movies like The Big Short that, while entertaining, will likely leave audiences fuming at the inequality of today’s financial markets.

Yet, the GameStop saga is unique in that it was a mini-market revolution that worked (for a while) and brought some power players to their knees despite using every tactic they could to rig the game.
This makes a good companion piece to Netflix’s more comprehensive documentary on the same case, Eat the Rich: The GameStop Saga,...
