Starring Paul Dano as the likable, unassuming basement trader Keith Gill, director Craig Gillespie's comedy turns a pandemic craze into a populist showdown.
As with his deftly empathetic handling of “I, Tonya,” Gillespie captures a hot-topic milieu of desperation and excitement populated by schemers. His love of actors is a plus, but his understanding of how they mix foibles, charms, and fears is uncommonly good.
It’s a feeling distilled in a wonderfully handled late-night gas-pump exchange between Ferrera and another customer. When the world’s telling you to be alone, even friendly small talk with a stranger can seem like its own essential refueling.In the end, “Dumb Money” wants us to believe a revolution was afoot , but it’s too low-key to truly convince us, especially with how things played out.
