Audience Member “If it keeps on raining, the levee’s gonna break”…. Don’t know if I ever heard a more appropriate song to describe exactly what was happening at that moment in time. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/01/25 Full Review Aditya S It's a thoroughly entertaining film. Well written dialogue, amazing performances, comedy that breaks you up and frequent fourth wall breaks. And the best thing is that the film never abandons its topic and makes us understand it as well as we can. I mean, who won't listen to Margot Robbie in a Bubble Bath? Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/25 Full Review thiago s Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, o elenco é muito bom, mas alguns ajudam a melhorar o filme, a história é mais ou menos, o filme mostra coisas sobre o mercado lucrativos, mas as cenas não são relevantes e boas. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Kyle C Equal parts informative and entertaining, The Big Short is a surprisingly funny, yet depressing exploration of the events leading up to the 2008 financial crisis. It’s got a wild cast consisting of solid performances from Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Brad Pitt, Marisa Tomei, and many others. The weird thing is that most of the characters don’t actually share a scene at any point throughout the movie. Maybe this was budgetary or maybe it was an organic result of the story being told, but it does lead to the movie feeling a little less cohesive and a little more random. The filmmakers used some pretty creative techniques, like having celebrities explain them as themselves or introducing some ridiculous metaphors, to take the dry and complex explanations of financial concepts and make them not only easy to digest but also quite entertaining. It was also nice when the film would call itself out for embellishing details for the sake of Hollywood. Overall, it’s not the tightest picture I’ve seen, but it’s fun and sheds a nice light on the crooks behind the worst financial crisis in our lifetimes. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/25 Full Review Daniel J Engaging, funny, and explains an important topic and event. The way the different stories, personalities, and concepts are woven together is great.
