Micro movie review
The Big Short: The story of the housing and credit bubble of the mid-2000s, and some fairly weird guys who realized what was happening and profited greatly from it. The film is quirky and confusing even if you know something about finance. Though it tries to explain things, sometimes quite humorously, if you don't know much about finance I think you'd be totally confused.
