Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe events depicted in this film occurred over a longer period than is alluded to, with Keith Gill first saying his famous phrase "I like the stock" on Reddit in January or February 2020, just as the COVID-19 pandemic was about to hit. The events in the film unraveled over the 12 months, with Gill finally testifying (as seen in the film) in February 2021. Gill had actually been trading in small amounts of GameStop stock since 2019, having paid $5 per share back then, but when the price dropped to $3 a share as the pandemic hit and he was temporarily laid off from his full time job, he actively took to playing the market with this one company on a hunch and posting on social media about it, citing that with nothing else to do during COVID restrictions, young Americans will resort to playing video games more and more. This logic gained traction and word spread among communities that he may have hit upon something. As seen in the film, Wall Street brokers paid little attention at first until the figures just grew and grew and then they resorted to illegal tactics to quash it.
- GoofsThe nurse bought call options that were set to expire on January 16th. Since GME dropped after January 25, she would have made a large profit automatically and not lost her $560,000+ paper profits.

Featured review
"I like the sto-movie"
Wow! This felt just like yesterday. What an incredible "based on a true story" movie about an underdog taking a huge risk. This wasn't a gamble, this was a guy who did his research and put in the work, and the world responded.
The cast was perfect. After Paul Dano's big appearance in The Batman (2022), I was wondering if I'd be seeing him in anything big coming up. He's played both the villain and hero... what else can he do?
One thing I was/wasn't expecting is the comedy in this movie. I was worried it was going to be cringey at first, but it was actually perfect for the story. Enjoy it while it lasts! We probably won't have a movie like this for a long time.
