I don't want to spoil this movie to those who haven't watched it yet.
But if you're unsure if it's worth watching or not, I hope I can persuade with this review that it's worth watching, just to get an idea of what happened... Is happening?
The topic in question, Gamestop, had a group of investors involved in making a decision to invest their money in the company for the hope of a good return on their investment after analysing information they found about the company during what is coined 'pre-squeeze' (2017-2021)
You learn, somewhat a feeling that I was left with of information that seemed to not tell the whole picture, as if something was kept out of the documentary - whether on purpose or as a means to allow the director convey their story I'm unsure, about various occurances throughout the years but mainly months leading up to January 2021, when the stock value of Gamestop rose way above the value it was worth the previous wmyear and in fact so high it actually has a term for it a 'squeeze' which doesn't make a lot of sense to me to use such a term because to squeeze would be to put a restraint on something yet in this instance it seems to refer to increased value in a stock.
Then we learn what occurred during this squeeze, that hedge funds and financial organisations involved in the stock markets had stopped anyone from buying the stock which in turn forced the value of the stock to plummet. Something that has Never happened before! This blew my mind!
And then it sort of ends unfinished in my opinion because after looking at the stock value of Gamestop now its been so what of a roller-coaster over the past year to date.
I didn't know anything about this other than some talk on the news last year but now that I've seen this film I've been reading more into what has happened since what was told at the end of the film to learn why it appears there seems to be something still going on.
I recall the other day before I even went to see the film on a news channel that Gamestop was over but confused why such news was broadcast because if you look at the stock value it is still higher than it was 'pre-squeeze'.
Like I say, it's an interesting film because there's stuff I didn't know about and if I had known I'd have probably paid more attention February of last year.
I'm surprised there's no trivia or reviews at present on here seeing as Cinemas are dead at the moment. Other films that have come out in the past few months are bombarded with reviews and trivia. Why there's little on this page for this film is also questionable.
Anyways, it's a good 8/10 film for me. I've never wrote a review before felt compelled to write something here seeing how little info is on this page. Something fishy going on but I can't figure out what.
