'The Big Short (2015)' takes a unique approach when trying to communicate its complex jargon and ideas - that being that it slots in celebrity cameos wherein the star straight-up tells you the definition of a specific term in the simplest way possible - and what that does is dilute the density of the piece without necessarily dumbing it down. This can occasionally seem like pandering, though, despite that it fits into the flick's overall fast-paced, free-flowing and fourth-wall nudging aesthetic. The picture commendably manages to make the somewhat dry source-material, or rather subject-matter, interesting and even, to an extent, engaging. It focuses on a set of characters that seem realistic and rounded enough to warrant our empathy when they're given the screen time to earn it. The film does become a little too unfocused and slightly cold in the long run, which prevents it from being any more investing than it is. 7/10

If you ever wanted to understand (on a easy to follow basis) why everything went wrong in 2007 and caused the Global Financial Crisis, then this is the movie for you. Even if you aren't interested in why, this movies offers insight into a world only few of us can ever really get our heads around.Unexpectedly funny and informative, this will outline why the system was doomed to fail, all but for a small handful of people who saw what was coming and made millions from a financial disaster.

I really enjoyed this film and how it portrayed the housing bubble collapse of the mid-2000. The cast were all very convincing in their roles - especially Steve Carell, of which I'm used to seeing him in funny roles, did a great job in the serious portrayal of his character.I felt the film was a little long, and some parts should have been edited out, but overall an entertaining and informative film.It's a 9/10 from me!
