The film is a scathing satire of the financial industry, and it does a masterful job of explaining the complex financial concepts behind the GameStop short squeeze in a way that is both informative and entertaining. The film is also very funny, with a number of laugh-out-loud moments. McKay's trademark brand of humor is on full display here, and he is able to find humor in even the most dire of situations. The cast of Dumb Money is excellent, with a number of standout performances. Adam Driver is particularly good as David Kellner, the CEO of Citadel, one of the hedge funds that lost billions of dollars in the GameStop short squeeze. Driver is able to bring both humor and humanity to the role, and he is one of the main reasons why the film is so enjoyable to watch.

4 out of 5 stars Barbie is a surprisingly delightful and thought-provoking film that subverts expectations at every turn. Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach's script is clever, funny, and surprisingly insightful, exploring themes of identity, self-acceptance, and the importance of being true to yourself. Margot Robbie is perfectly cast as Barbie, bringing a warmth, wit, and intelligence to the role that is rarely seen in live-action adaptations of toy-based properties. Ryan Gosling is also excellent as Ken, who is surprisingly complex and nuanced character in this film. The supporting cast is also strong, with America Ferrera, Simu Liu, and Kate McKinnon all delivering memorable performances. The film's visuals are also stunning, with Gerwig and her collaborators creating a truly unique and imaginative world for Barbie and her friends to inhabit. Overall, Barbie is a must-see for fans of Gerwig's work, as well as anyone looking for a smart, funny, and visually stunning film. While it is a bit too long and could have benefited from some tighter editing, the film's positive message and heartwarming moments make it a worthwhile watch.
