I posted about this in the c/cinemajoy community, but this is my take away (I don't want @canthidium to get made at me for crossposting):

Just got back from Dumb Money. This film ended up being a very unusual experience for me. It's very well written with quality performances from all involved. The film is skillfully funny while still managing to be a well constructed docudrama. The wildest thing about it is the feeling of watching a doc about a series of events that we were all, to some degree, involved in. The events of this film happened around us, and very recently. But the most dissonant aspect of the film is how long ago it FEELS. The entire sequence of events took place 2-3 years ago and to me it felt both like yesterday and 20 years ago. I think it's well worth seeing, and I would love to know what others took away from this highly entertaining bit of cinema.

Lol, I don't care if you crosspost. You made a separate thread when we had a discussion post pinned last time. I was just giving you shit because you're a mod here and should have noticed.
