PLUS PLUS BLOCKS REVIEW MOVIE
Rounding out their family crew is Keith’s wife Caroline (Shailene Woodley), who is unfortunately given little to do aside from doling out encouraging remarks during moments of stress.īut the most impressive feat in this lively movie doesn’t have to do with Keith at all, but rather its formidable band of side characters. He often shares scenes with Pete Davidson, who plays Keith’s layabout brother, Kevin, and though Dano’s naturally earnest sensibility hits up a bit awkwardly against Davidson’s unending farce, the pair eventually hit a rhythm. In the role, Dano toggles pleasingly between geeky anxiety and a sheepish enjoyment of the spotlight. While live-streaming, he often includes small, personal moments - he wears wonky outfits and, at one point, nibbles on the chicken nuggets he’s feeding his son - that catch on and quickly become part of his online brand.
But the film is careful to show that Keith’s true talent is not as an investment adviser but rather as a kind of nerdfluencer. Gillespie paints Keith as a canny and resourceful investor with a clearly impressive breadth of financial knowledge. These are the ordinary folks who anchor “Dumb Money,” even as Keith Gill (Paul Dano) - a small-town Massachusetts resident who offers financial insights on Reddit under the moniker Roaring Kitty - claims the story’s center. The hit plays over a dynamic montage of our heroes: an array of essential workers, middle-class employees, and college students in debt up their eyeballs. Near the beginning of the movie, we’re placed in time by a song: “WAP,” the rollicking Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion duet that came out in the summer of 2020.
