The film, which is based on Patricia Highsmith’s psychological thriller novel of the same moniker, promises to take viewers “inside the marriage of picture-perfect Vic (Ben Affleck) and Melinda (Ana de Armas) Van Allen to discover the dangerous mind games they play and what happens to the people that get caught up in them,” according to an official synopsis.

GameStop made quite a splash in the news in early 2021 when an internet group noticed that big-time investors were recklessly over-shorting the company shares. The major investors were convinced that the retailer was on the brink of collapse and shorted 140% of the company’s entire public shareholding. In a joint effort spearheaded through the subreddit r/WallStreetBets, the group purchased all outstanding GameStop stock, driving up the price, ensuring that the big funds bet backfired. MSNBC‘s new documentary Diamond Hands: The Legend of WallStreetBets outlines the perspective of individuals who invested in the company early on and held on to their shares. While others utilized the opportunity to make a fortune, others’ profits were slightly more modest in comparison. The documentary focus...
