The Big Squeeze

About This Movie

The Big Squeeze feels like a dive into a whirlwind, showing how the GameStop saga turned everyday folks into stock market players. The pacing ebbs and flows, reflecting the chaos of 2020, with interviews that feel raw and real. There’s a certain nervous energy throughout, capturing the highs and lows of playing the market. The film explores themes of community and rebellion against traditional finance, drawing in investors and curious onlookers alike. Some practical effects enhance the storytelling, but it’s really the diverse perspectives that stand out. You get the sense of a movement, a bunch of people suddenly waking up to the game that’s been rigged against them for years. Sam Black manages to keep it engaging without losing the essence of those unique voices.
