Dumb Money (2023)

[IMDB; en.wikipedia]



I like that they've put a lot of soul into it, I could feel it.

Look, this movie is all about the story, the mood, the acting... - all good, they certainly got that right given their angle/approach!

I know, I know the story gets anti-capitalist & anti establishment at times, but that's part of the deal with such a movie, so I'll make an exception and take that deal just this time in order to consume everything else I like about this movie :)

Nota bene: I do have quite a lot of objections regarding the story, but if I were to deliver my opinion in full and/or start indexing everything wrong with the story, then this would turn into a 30 minutes read, so I only say this: I do have quite a lot of objections regarding the story, but I have to swallow it in order to consume everything else I like about this movie :)

Funny at times.


Good acting.

Paul Dano is close to excellent. I noticed him a long time ago in There Will Be Blood (2007) [en.wikipedia] - excellent.

All the other actors deliver a really-really good performance. All of them! Congratulations to everyone!


Special effects? - none.

Soundtrack? - just a tiny bit, they only deliver the bare minimum to create the right mood.

Cinematography & Video editing? - average.

Overall, I consider it Entertaining.

Sadly, not so many people can understand & taste such a movie, since they either consider it not entertaining or they reject such a story.


Conclusions


I feel it's been worth my time & money. I recommend it.
