Description

When perpetually upbeat factory worker Mike Alvarado drops his family’s savings into the digital void of cryptocurrency, he strikes gold — or so he thinks. Mike’s newfound fortune quickly transforms him from lovable screw-up to delusional kingpin, torching his relationships with his girlfriend, his developmentally disabled brother, and his recovering addict cousin. As his portfolio plunges, Mike’s addiction to volatility starts to look like every other form of self-destruction surrounding him.

    Great release!

    A Midwest worker risks his savings on crypto, spiraling into gambling addiction and straining ties with his girlfriend, disabled brother, and recovering addict cousin in this anxious modern comedy.

    Loved that movie.

    Bittersweet comedy

    It captures the ups & downs of a life at te mercy of the vagaries of cryptocurrency trading. Good pace, funny moments & pretty good acting

    Mumblecore Uncut Gems!

    Even though you can make a case that the Safdies started out as mumblecore filmmakers (but not really), this film will answer the question “what if the Safdies made a mumblecore version of Uncut Gems”? Uncomfortably hilarious at times, this tale of bitcoin bros is a hoot from start to finish.

    Much better than expected

    Despite the somewhat dorky slipcover, this was a great black comedy.
