    The Ben Mezrich books-practically-written-as-screenplays industrial complex did bring us THE SOCIAL NETWORK, but past performance does not guarantee future results, and so it is with highly undiversified bets into meme stock companies and the films about such activities.

    This movie doesn't have any particular reason to exist because it is a dramatization of an event that basically just happened, that most of its audience either remembers quite well or directly participated in, and that doesn't have a novel take on…

    Sort of, and I truly mean the sort of because this description is only a very mild one of what happens here, like if the Wachowskis directed a mashup of Motherless Brooklyn and Babylon. I can’t say that it’s good but I will root for it forever. Utterly incoherent but it left a mark. Caligula’s mouth twitches. Half a star bonus because I feel its pull. We’re going to work on a term sheet, auntie wow.

    I wanted to hate this movie but have a grudging respect for a movie that is accidentally a reactionary fable by a rich person warning her brethren that the unwashed strivers are coming for their land
