   Critics consensus The Big Short approaches a serious, complicated subject with an impressive attention to detail -- and manages to deliver a well-acted, scathingly funny indictment of its real-life villains in the bargain. More reviews on Rotten Tomatoes

   What is the Big Short based on?

   • Based on a book by Michael Lewis, “The Big Short” is about how several traders and hedge fund managers made fortunes because they saw that the housing market’s decline would cause a collapse of bonds contrived from sub-prime mortgages. The terminology is both dry and dizzying, the machinations incredibly convoluted.

   Is 'the Big Short' a good movie?

   • A movie is unlikely to change that, and “The Big Short,” in many ways a startlingly ambitious film, is modest about what it can do. It offers no solutions, and no comfort. The best it can do is put down a marker. “The Big Short” is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian).

   Is 'the Big Short' a good book?

   • But rather than rehash familiar ground, “The Big Short” achieves a fresh and brilliant synthesis of knowing insiderism and populist incitement. Back in 2010, when Mr. Lewis’s book came out, it was as ubiquitous an accessory for business-class airline passengers as the “Twilight” novels were for adolescent girls.

   In the film that closed AFI Fest 2015, "The Big Short," someone did the math. Then other people checked the numbers and eventually found to their surprise and disgust that not only was that person right, but the system was corrupt.
