Still just a bit confused, but definitely impressed. This movie is a great way to tell something really important without turning it into an 100% boring and 0% "reachable" documentary. In a way, it dares you to not believe them, the characters—their story and what they did—neither what the future can hold. By doing so, it scares us twice as much and makes us keep discussing it all, long after it finishes. Very good.

I love the style of this movie. The way it explains complicated things and breaking the 4th wall to confirm or deny what really happened is a perfect way to make this entertaining. The acting is great all around. Still this makes me very angry.

Having failed my maths exams 3 times before finally getting a pass, my number skills are very poor. So whilst I enjoyed the film and appreciated the acting and the story, the intricacies of the banking system were as clear as a Swedish film with no subtitles. The film tries hard to relay certain financial concepts but my brain couldn't cope. What is clear, however, is this... the rich get rich while the poorer get poorer. The greedy bankers are criminals who were never brought to justice and the poor and working class suffered as a result. Its a familiar story in many aspects in life but by the film's climax it hits hard.

When I wrote my thoughts on Spotlight, I speculated about how knowing the end of the story going in, knowing the extent of the scandal the team in Spotlight was uncovering, may have robbed the plot of some of its punch. And yet, The Big Short is, in many ways, the perfect counter to that.

Almost the whole time I was watching this movie (including the bath-scene with Margot Robbie) I felt like the biggest idiot on the planet.
I'm not a numbers guy nor do I know all the terminology in American banking and mortgage systems and most of it looked like watching some kind of alien lan More

There is a reason this film is my most-watched film and why I love it so much, the truth is that this film takes a very complicated event and finds a way to explain it to your average film watcher in such a way that makes you feel the impact of this event at the time and at the same time has those m More

I refuse to believe that the bean counters at Scion Capital would let IT set all their computer workstations to "never sleep" the display. Think of all the electric bill inflation!

What's really great about all the Dell workstations scattered through the film is that I have either use More
