Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe events depicted in this film occurred over a longer period than is alluded to, with Keith Gill first saying his famous phrase "I like the stock" on Reddit in January or February 2020, just as the COVID-19 pandemic was about to hit. The events in the film unraveled over the 12 months, with Gill finally testifying (as seen in the film) in February 2021. Gill had actually been trading in small amounts of GameStop stock since 2019, having paid $5 per share back then, but when the price dropped to $3 a share as the pandemic hit and he was temporarily laid off from his full time job, he actively took to playing the market with this one company on a hunch and posting on social media about it, citing that with nothing else to do during COVID restrictions, young Americans will resort to playing video games more and more. This logic gained traction and word spread among communities that he may have hit upon something. As seen in the film, Wall Street brokers paid little attention at first until the figures just grew and grew and then they resorted to illegal tactics to quash it.
- GoofsThe nurse bought call options that were set to expire on January 16th. Since GME dropped after January 25, she would have made a large profit automatically and not lost her $560,000+ paper profits.

Featured review
That music! AAAAGGHHH!
The early part of this film, perhaps the first 15 minutes or so, constitutes some of the most painful moments of my entire movie-viewing life. The filmmakers repeatedly chose to blast the film with absolutely obnoxious, offensive, crude and un-listenable rap music that plays too long and WAY too loud. If I hadn't just spent $5.99 to rent the movie, I absolutely would have turned it off. I'm glad I didn't turn it off, though, because once we got past the rap-fest, it settled into a pretty good movie. Paul Dano is excellent as the earnest, well-meaning day trader who sparks a worldwide rift in the stock market. It's a classic case of the little guy who stands up to the powers at the top. There's still some rap that I could live without throughout the movie, but those first few minutes appear to betray some sort of mental breakdown on the part of the director, music supervisor, and editor. Watch with caution.
