  • Pool C: Wales 40-6 Australia

Australian rugby has had its bleak days and nights but nothing remotely as bad as this. If congratulations are clearly due to Warren Gatlandas Wales for inflicting a record all-time defeat on the Wallabies, this was Eddie Jonesas absolute worst nightmare. His squad are now staring at an embarrassingly early exit from the tournament, having never previously failed to qualify for the knockout stages at a World Cup.

When Jones was rehired in January at vast expense, having lost his job with England, it was not supposed to end like this. If defeat to Fiji was bad this was infinitely worse, with his side barely firing a shot. If the 63-year-oldas appointment was supposed to breathe fresh life into the Wallaby squad, it is increasingly having the opposite effect.

Royal Academy, London
Knives, arrows, guns, nakednessa| the performance art pioneeras blockbuster 50-year retrospective underlines her bravery, yet sells it short with off-key re-enactments by stand-ins

Will you make it through the door of the Royal Academy, where two young people currently face each other, naked, like a pair of human gateposts? Not if you are too tactful (or too portly), afraid of grazing their bare bodies with a sharp buckle or zip. But there is a secret bypass into the next gallery that allows you to watch footage of the original and more startling performance of this artwork, in any case, and avoid the keyed-up RA queues.

Imponderabilia was first staged in 1977 by the Serbian performance artist Marina AbramoviA (born 1946) and her German partner Ulay. A television monitor shows mortified visitors in overcoats pushing rapidly between the eye-to-eye artists. Whatas lost today is not just the potential for shock or social embarrassment but the intense emotional connection between AbramoviA and Ulay. The stand-ins hired for this lavish retrospective resemble, by contrast, detached and slightly fragile models.

In the years since, the availability and acceptance of halal food has increased hugely. Finding halal meat in a supermarket is almost a given and the types of cuisines that are available to halal consumers continues to broaden. There are also signs that non-Muslims are seeking out halal food, especially meat, while some of the fastest growing food chains in the UK are Muslim-owned.

Considering the design of bare, black twigs and stripes of buff and orange as if we had traded in our staid family saloon for a fast sports car.

After years of trying to find my food among the Chinoiserie trees, birds and cherries of the classic Willow Pattern, I could now actually see my dinner in all its meat-and-two-veg glory. Production of Sienna stopped in 1987 when the company became insolvent, but the design continues to get cameo parts in 1960as television dramas as the prop stylistsa go-to tableware of the era. What I took away from this was that food looks better, more comfortable, on the right china.

Corinne Bailey Rae: Black Rainbows review a an extraordinary new sound
Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2023 12:00:00 GMT
From https:

(Thirty Tigers)
Rock, jazz, Afrofuturisma| the British singer-songwriter is transformed on this record inspired by Chicagoas archive of Black art

Corinne Bailey Raeas most popular songs on Spotify are coffee-shop staples such as Put Your Records On and Like a Star. Nothing to wake the neighbours. By contrast, this is a scream through the letterbox. Bailey Rae originally planned Black Rainbows as a side project, a freewheeling meditation on the history of Black experience she discovered at the Stony Island Arts Bank archive in Chicago. Now itas her best work yet. Although just 45 minutes long, its audacious mix of rock, electronica, jazz and Afrofuturism forms an epic soundtrack narrating journeys to freedom.

Itas not perfect. The first two songs are a sluggish entry point to the Bailey Rae renaissance, before the album explodes with post-punky Erasure, its transgressive fury a pure catharsis mediated through her distorted voice. Next, a smart sequencing of mostly great songs, including the astonishing He Will Follow You With His Eyes, a coquettish, jazzy number that transmutes into something wild and magical as she blankly intones lines such as amy black hair kinking, my black skin gleaminga while the song disintegrates around her. Even better is closer Before the Throne of the Invisible God, on which, metamorphosis complete, she becomes an east Pennine Alice Coltrane. An extraordinary album.

Australia mirror head coach with Eddie Jones looking lost and heading for early exit | Gerard Meagher
Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2023 22:27:56 GMT
From https:

Wallabies appeared to give up the ghost against Wales with coachas second spell in charge now an inglorious failure

A penny for the thoughts of Dave Rennie. The former Australia head coach, who was unceremoniously ditched to make room for the Eddie Jones circus, has largely kept his counsel ever since but his views on precisely what to make of this desperately low ebb that the Wallabies have reached would be mandatory listening.

The manner in which Rennie was pushed aside never sat well and you cannot help but see this as comeuppance for Rugby Australia. The second coming of Jones has been an inglorious failure and it will only deepen the wounds for the 63-year-old that it was his old sparring partner Warren Gatland to hammer home the extent of it. By the end of this humiliation, the Wallabies had long since thrown in the towel, Wales playing out a glorified training session.

In a town once known as athe casino of the foresta, where Ian Fleming would come to write his James Bond novels and find time for the odd game of cards, Steve Borthwick has much to ponder as England head into their World Cup rest week. Namely: to stick or twist.

As Newcastleas players and staff stood in a line applauding the supporters serenading them in the lower bank of the Bramall Lane Stand after a record-breaking away win, the clock on the scoreboard looking back at them was still ticking away. It was a good job then that, by that point, Sheffield Unitedas players had long since traipsed down the tunnel, such was Newcastleas overwhelming appetite to put on a show, persistently pushing to cut a little bit deeper.

It was in effect game over inside 35 minutes, by which point Eddie Howeas side were three goals to the good, but Newcastle were relentless, bloodthirsty and ended up bludgeoning the hosts to the tune of eight goals to nil, for their biggest away league win. Stuart McCall, the Sheffield United assistant manager, could not bear to look as Alexander Isak got in on the act, covering his face as the substitute wheeled away in celebration after adding a history-making eighth, the first time there have been eight different scorers in a Premier League match.

Ed Davey should go big on Europe, the economy and the environment at the party conference this week

After more than a decade of disastrous government under the Conservatives, Britain is ready for change. Yet while the Tories are imploding, and despite the lack of much enthusiasm for Keir Starmeras Labour party, the Liberal Democrats, whose annual party conference is underway in Bournemouth, have so far failed to capitalise.

Labour is unwilling to embrace the bold policies needed to get the UK out of its deepening rut. The closer the country gets to an election, the more eager the party has been to abandon the progressive measures it was previously committed to, from raising taxes for the wealthy and tech giants, to investing heavily in green infrastructure and abolishing the Conservativesa cruel welfare policies. And despite the growing backlash against Brexit and the huge damage it has caused, Starmer a who once campaigned for a second referendum in Jeremy Corbynas cabinet a now refuses to consider rejoining the single market and customs union.

Murdoch brainwashed Britain. Thatas the comforting tale the left tells itself. But is it true? | Gaby Hinsliff

The influence of News Corp is overstated a and politicians need to revamp their tactics and schmoozing accordingly

aWhat are you going to do about the Sun?a It was the first question Neil Kinnock asked, when a bunch of eager young political advisers setting up a now long-forgotten campaign for Britain to join the single currency begged his advice. By then an EU commissioner, Kinnock had never forgotten the paperas devastating 1992 front page asking the last person left in Britain to turn out the lights if Labour won. But for decades now, his question has haunted the liberal left.

The Murdoch press has earned a fearsome reputation among progressives as a kind of giant toad squatting in the road, blocking the way to everything from higher taxes to gay rights and, above all, closer relations with Europe. Few did more to pave the way for Brexit than the immigrant-bashing, Brussels-baiting Sun, whose once cheeky Euroscepticism had descended by 2015 to the nadir of a Katie Hopkins column describing migrants drowning at sea as cockroaches. aShow me pictures of coffins, show me bodies floating in the water a| I still donat care,a she wrote. Across the Atlantic, Rupert Murdochas Fox News channel offered a similarly shrill platform for the angry, increasingly paranoid voices who would propel Donald Trump to power.

The Guardian view on the rise in school absences: a crisis made in government | Editorial

From https:

Headteachers need more support if they are to persuade reluctant pupils to come back

Pretty much everyone with a stake in schools is worried about the current high rate of absenteeism: politicians, school leaders, academic researchers and many parents. The pattern has been clear for a while. The proportion of pupils classified as persistently absent (missing more than one in 10 lessons) has more than doubled in England since the pandemic. From 10.9% in 2018-19, it rose to 22.3% in 2022-23. Data in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales is collected separately because education is devolved, but indicates a similar trend. This weekas report from the research agency Public First, probing attitudes through discussions with focus groups, called the situation a afull-blown national crisisa.

The concern is justified. As the teacher and writer Lola Okolosie observed recently, school is aan anchor to societya. As well as providing lessons, school is where children learn to be with other people. Since the pupils most likely to be absent include those on free school meals and with special educational needs, low attendance is a form of social exclusion.

Progress has been made. But as the wounds of Brexit heal, literature has a key role to play in building a new entente cordiale

News of the first Belarusian laureate in 2015 was greeted, according to one writer, by the sound of 10,000 reporters Googling Svetlana Alexievich a though, as Ms Alexievich is herself a distinguished journalist, reporters were on this occasion relatively well placed.

When the French novelist JMG Le ClA(c)zio took the medal seven years earlier, there was no such luck: his novels were nowhere to be found.

The prime ministeras decision to postpone key climate targets is a cynical betrayal of what really matters, writes Bel Greenwood. Plus letters from Milo Sanders, Jeremy Wight, Charles Wilhelm, Alan Gray and Lillian Adams

I never thought I would fear the summer, but now I do. This year I am grateful that we had a cool, wet summer. But next year? I will never be able to happily anticipate the season again. Instead, I will dread its heat a although not as much as those in unliveable places where lives are being destroyed by fire and floods. That is why Rishi Sunakas dog-whistle weakening of already pitifully inadequate action on the climate emergency is despicable and deadly (Rishi Sunak announces U-turn on key green targets, 20 September).

I am one of those this policy change is designed to appeal to. The cost of living hits me hard and I live month to month. Thereas no way I can replace my ageing hybrid with an electric car. A heat pump is an impossible dream even if I didnat live in private rented accommodation. But this pretence of caring about people like me is a cynical betrayal of what really matters. If Sunak really wanted to make our lives better then he would act faster on net zero and give us a true green new deal.

Labels are misunderstood and do little to diminish stigma, writes Chris Bennett

Regarding Matilda Boseleyas article (ADHD has become an identity, not just a disorder. We need a new way to talk about it, 20 September), as someone who has had epilepsy for more than 60 years, I can understand the frustration that someone with ADHD (or indeed any condition) may feel about how people stigmatise their condition.

However, I do not believe that referring to oneself as an ADHD person rather than someone with ADHD is helpful. I, personally, object to being called an epileptic, because my epilepsy does not define me as a person. If Matilda feels that it is right or helpful to identify herself with her condition, then that is her choice. Personally, however, I donat think that anyone personifying themselves in terms of their condition does much to reduce stigma. In my experience, when we use such defining labels, the uninitiated will always tend to think and fear the worst. At best, labels that are misunderstood will increase fear and apprehension and do little to diminish stigma.

Because even a modernist villa on a hillside on the island of Aegina a a fast ferry ride from the port of Piraeus and the summer bolthole of chic Athenians a is not the sanctuary from the modern world that it might once have been. The house is where Varoufakis and his wife, landscape artist Danae Stratou, live, year round since the pandemic, but in August 2023 at the end of a summer of heatwaves and extreme weather conditions across the world, it feels more than a little apocalyptic. The sun is a dim orange orb struggling to shine through a haze of smoke while a shower of fine ash falls invisibly from the sky. A month later, two yearsa worth of rain will fall in a single day in northern Greece, causing a biblical deluge and never-before-seen levels of flooding.

Texas death row inmate at mercy of supreme court a and junk science

Robert Roberson was convicted of murdering his two-year-old daughter on the basis of the now largely discredited shaken baby syndrome theory


On a frigid evening in January 2018, Brian Wharton was sitting at home in Hawkins, a small town in the backcountry of east Texas, when there was a knock on the door. A woman introduced herself as a lawyer working to spare the life of Robert Roberson, a death row inmate who had come within four days of execution.

Wharton immediately understood the significance of this visit. He was a retired detective from the police department in Palestine, another small town about 80 miles away, and in 2002 he had been involved in a case that stuck in his memory.

Nikki, who shortly before she died had been placed in Robersonas custody, was chronically sick almost from birth. She suffered bouts of breathing apnea which caused her suddenly to stop breathing and collapse. Shortly before her father rushed her to hospital, she had had diarrhea for five days and had a fever of 104.5F (40.3C).

Nikki also had severe undiagnosed pneumonia.

She had been prescribed medications, including an opioid, that are no longer considered safe for children as they can cause fatal breathing problems and oxygen deprivation.

The sexual assault allegation was unsupported by any evidence, and the nurse who raised it was unqualified to identify it.

Nearly a dozen US football players have died of heat in recent years as teams reckon with training in a changing climate

At the end of a pre-season football practice in late July, Myzelle Law, a 19-year-old defensive lineman for MidAmerica Nazarene University in Kansas, returned to the locker room, and began showing signs of seizure. It was hot outside, but Lawas internal body temperature had reached 108F (42.2C), his family said. He died about a week later, of heat-related illness.

Last summer, the same thing happened to the 17-year-old lineman Phillip Laster Jr, a rising senior at Brandon high school in Mississippi. In 2021, 16-year-old Drake Geiger, a player for Omaha South high school in Nebraska, died after collapsing on a practice field.

Theatre Royal Stratford East, London
Jonathan Harveyas breakthrough play still blazes with a stubborn utopian impulse thanks to finely pitched performances and delicately balanced banter

Everyone lives cheek by jowl on this south London estate, but thereas still space for secrets. In Rosie Elnileas smart design, the walkway sits bang at the front of the stage: weare properly involved in this 30th anniversary revival of Jonathan Harveyas breakthrough play.

Life isnat pukka for the teenagers behind those doors. Leah has been excluded, Steas dad and brothers knock him about. Jamie, bright but bullied, lives with mum Sandra in the middle flat, with its jaunty cyan door and hanging basket, a household that wonat be ground down.

When Sandra is in a grump, you know about it. Shvorne Marksa indomitable performance has a salty tongue, blazing heart and a scowl to freeze an unruly childas blood. But she fights for Jamie and willingly offers Ste refuge when his dadas fists are flying.

The boys top and tail in Jamieas bed: soothing bruises with peppermint foot lotion, working towards a first kiss. Rilwan Abiola Owokoniranas circumspect, gangly Jamie and Raphael Akuwudikeas sweet-smiling Ste tenderly chart these pre-digital teens navigating a way into identity, scouring the listings in Gay Times (Lily Savage the resplendent cover girl).

Harveyas play goes to challenging places a violence offstage and on, the fear that lives might already be written off at 16. Anthony Simpson-Pikeas direction knows when to hold a silence, to feel the doubt beneath the banter. Yet even in the bleakest moments, Elliot Griggsa lighting insists on a little magic, glowing with peach and raspberry.

Thereas sweetness too in the performances a Trieve Blackwood-Cambridge as Sandraas boyfriend is pitched on the edge of cringe (studied fist bumps, too-smooth moves), while Scarlett Rayner is fierce yet fragile as retro-obsessed Leah.

Harveyas triumphant 1993 hit heralded a prolific tumble of plays during the subsequent decade; heas also one of Corrieas long-running writers and recently scripted Ian McKellenas Mother Goose. Soap and panto, big heart and shameless gags: they were already there in Beautiful Thing. Itas a bumpy mix, but thereas also a stubborn utopian impulse a an insistence that love will find a way, that lives can take the shape they need.

Weare often told the current crop lack the dignity that monarchy deserves. But what about the losers, adulterers and delusional brutes who came before?

What will become of the royal family? That is a question people have been asking since the regime change of 2022. What sort of a state has that family got itself into? Can it survive in this form?

Cultural appropriation is the bogeyman of our time. Letas celebrate the joy of cross-pollination

Human beings have, ever since they developed distinct cultures, always worried that their purity might soon be blemished. In ancient Greece, Therpandrus caused offence by adding an extra string to his lyre. In 16th-century China, the emperor ordered all seafaring ships destroyed because of fears about the cultural changes that foreign trade missions might induce. In 19th-century Germany, the composer Richard Wagner worried that Jews might spoil the authenticity of German culture.

Traditionally, it has been the right that opposed and the left that defended new cultural influences. But, in recent years, many progressives have also started to worry about ways in which cultures might cross-pollinate. While they celebrate a great variety of traditional cultures, they now warn about the dangers of acultural appropriationa.

The influence of News Corp is overstated a and politicians need to revamp their tactics and schmoozing accordingly

aWhat are you going to do about the Sun?a It was the first question Neil Kinnock asked, when a bunch of eager young political advisers setting up a now long-forgotten campaign for Britain to join the single currency begged his advice. By then an EU commissioner, Kinnock had never forgotten the paperas devastating 1992 front page asking the last person left in Britain to turn out the lights if Labour won. But for decades now, his question has haunted the liberal left.

The Murdoch press has earned a fearsome reputation among progressives as a kind of giant toad squatting in the road, blocking the way to everything from higher taxes to gay rights and, above all, closer relations with Europe. Few did more to pave the way for Brexit than the immigrant-bashing, Brussels-baiting Sun, whose once cheeky Euroscepticism had descended by 2015 to the nadir of a Katie Hopkins column describing migrants drowning at sea as cockroaches. aShow me pictures of coffins, show me bodies floating in the water a| I still donat care,a she wrote. Across the Atlantic, Rupert Murdochas Fox News channel offered a similarly shrill platform for the angry, increasingly paranoid voices who would propel Donald Trump to power.

In dismissing concerns over the death of a Canadian Sikh activist, Indiaas prime minister raises more questions over his commitment to democracy

Political assassination is a practice as old as human society, although the term itself derives from the 12th-century Persian Order of Assassins, first described by Marco Polo. Julius Caesar, Thomas Becket, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Leon Trotsky, John F Kennedy, Lord Louis Mountbatten, Olof Palme and Yevgeny Prigozhin were victims of notorious political assassinations. They had one thing in common: all were high-profile targets.

That is not a description that may be accurately applied to Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen shot dead in June by two masked gunmen outside a Sikh temple in British Columbia. If Nijjar had any claim to fame, it was as a campaigner for Khalistan, a notional Sikh homeland in the Indian Punjab fiercely opposed by Indiaas government. His activism provides the only plausible motive for his murder. Little-known though he was, Nijjaras death was a political assassination, too.

Event organisers say itas acrunch timea for pope as scandal and bigotry drive Church members to leave

They make up more than half its membership, they have been denied a say for centuries in the way it is run: but, early next month, women will gather in Rome for a process that they hope can bring the Catholic churchas thinking on female equality into the 21st century.

The central event is a mass listening exercise announced by Pope Francis in 2021, the synod on synodality. Its delegates will meet in Rome throughout October to discern the future direction of key issues in the church; and at the forefront of soundings already taken across the 1.3 billion-strong Catholic church across the globe has been the role of women.

Marina AbramoviA review a the artist is strangely absent
Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2023 12:00:00 GMT
From https:

Royal Academy, London
Knives, arrows, guns, nakednessa| the performance art pioneeras blockbuster 50-year retrospective underlines her bravery, yet sells it short with off-key re-enactments by stand-ins

Will you make it through the door of the Royal Academy, where two young people currently face each other, naked, like a pair of human gateposts? Not if you are too tactful (or too portly), afraid of grazing their bare bodies with a sharp buckle or zip. But there is a secret bypass into the next gallery that allows you to watch footage of the original and more startling performance of this artwork, in any case, and avoid the keyed-up RA queues.

Imponderabilia was first staged in 1977 by the Serbian performance artist Marina AbramoviA (born 1946) and her German partner Ulay. A television monitor shows mortified visitors in overcoats pushing rapidly between the eye-to-eye artists. Whatas lost today is not just the potential for shock or social embarrassment but the intense emotional connection between AbramoviA and Ulay. The stand-ins hired for this lavish retrospective resemble, by contrast, detached and slightly fragile models.

Strange Way of Life review a AlmodA3varas stylish but slight cowboy love story
Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2023 10:00:20 GMT
From https:

Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke do their best with meagre material in this underpowered short from the Spanish director


Well, it certainly looks lovely, as you would expect from the first offering from Saint Laurent Productions, a subsidiary of the luxury fashion goods label Yves Saint Laurent. And the orchestral score, by Alberto Iglesias, is glorious a lavish, full-blooded and swooping. But otherwise, this wispy snippet of gay cowboy drama from Pedro AlmodA3var, which stars Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke as reunited former lovers, is sadly synthetic and underpowered. Both Pascal and Hawke do their best, but with writing as inauthentic and cursory as this, thereas little they can do to elevate the material.

aGhosts love my housea: Jeanette Winterson on hauntings, high spirits and post-humanism
Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2023 10:00:21 GMT
From https:

Over a long lunch, the writer talks about ghostly encounters, embracing AI, rebelling against convention and why our future human life holds no fears for her

Some ghost stories start on a snowy night in a creaking castle, others start with Jeanette Winterson bustling into an east London restaurant on a hot day and ordering two glasses of pink fizz. Over the course of a long afternoon she will talk about fear, peacocks and the past; sheall walk me through her haunted home and discuss the end of the world in such a way that it seems like actually it might be quite jolly. By the time I emerge into the evening Iall be equal parts disturbed and charmed a and possibly changed.

Night Side of the River, her new book a the 23rd since Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit a is a collection of 13 ghost stories. Some are gothic, some explore technology, others are nonfiction, her own personal hauntings, but the thing that stood out for me was how none turn away from grief or death, a subject at the core of every ghost, yet rarely examined in its stories. Writing them, she enjoyed the genre constraints of a ghost story a inviting a reader into the room and then sort of moving the walls. aItas like when youare doing yoga and you think you canat go any further. And then the teacher pushes you that little bit more? That open stretch.a

Corinne Bailey Rae: Black Rainbows review a an extraordinary new sound
Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2023 12:00:00 GMT
From https:

(Thirty Tigers)
Rock, jazz, Afrofuturisma| the British singer-songwriter is transformed on this record inspired by Chicagoas archive of Black art

Corinne Bailey Raeas most popular songs on Spotify are coffee-shop staples such as Put Your Records On and Like a Star. Nothing to wake the neighbours. By contrast, this is a scream through the letterbox. Bailey Rae originally planned Black Rainbows as a side project, a freewheeling meditation on the history of Black experience she discovered at the Stony Island Arts Bank archive in Chicago. Now itas her best work yet. Although just 45 minutes long, its audacious mix of rock, electronica, jazz and Afrofuturism forms an epic soundtrack narrating journeys to freedom.

Itas not perfect. The first two songs are a sluggish entry point to the Bailey Rae renaissance, before the album explodes with post-punky Erasure, its transgressive fury a pure catharsis mediated through her distorted voice. Next, a smart sequencing of mostly great songs, including the astonishing He Will Follow You With His Eyes, a coquettish, jazzy number that transmutes into something wild and magical as she blankly intones lines such as amy black hair kinking, my black skin gleaminga while the song disintegrates around her. Even better is closer Before the Throne of the Invisible God, on which, metamorphosis complete, she becomes an east Pennine Alice Coltrane. An extraordinary album.

aArt has a place in my kitchena: Nigel Slater on his favourite ceramics

Pottery has always played a crucial role in Nigel Slateras cooking, both for the way it elevates a meal and also for the calm sense of fragility it brings to a room. Here, he reveals some of his favourite pieces a and the rising pottery stars to look out for

In the mid-1960s, my parents abandoned their dark blue Willow Pattern tableware, inspired by a Japanese fairytale, for the more minimal Sienna by Midwinter, a graphic design by Jessie Tait made by William Robinson in Stoke-on-Trent. Considering the design of bare, black twigs and stripes of buff and orange as if we had traded in our staid family saloon for a fast sports car.

After years of trying to find my food among the Chinoiserie trees, birds and cherries of the classic Willow Pattern, I could now actually see my dinner in all its meat-and-two-veg glory. Production of Sienna stopped in 1987 when the company became insolvent, but the design continues to get cameo parts in 1960as television dramas as the prop stylistsa go-to tableware of the era. What I took away from this was that food looks better, more comfortable, on the right china.

Dumb Money review a Paul Dano excels in fun retelling of the GameStop stock craze
Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2023 07:00:17 GMT
From https:

Dano is a perfect fit as the YouTuber who took on Wall Street in I, Tonya director Craig Gillespieas spirited underdog drama

In late 2020 and January 2021, a motley collection of small-time investors, loosely led by a nerdy YouTuber and Reddit poster who went by the name of Roaring Kitty, delivered an emphatic poke in the eye to the Wall Street elite. A flood of money and a feeding frenzy on the stock of GameStop (a struggling chain of US video game stores) inflated the share value, with brutal consequences for several multibillion-dollar hedge funds. It was billed as a bite back against the cynical practice of short-selling (essentially when a trader bets on the decline of a business) and as an event that heralded the democratisation of the stock market, hitherto a heavily fortified industry controlled by the ultra-wealthy and ultra-privileged.

Now, director Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya, Cruella) tackles the subject with a vigorous, ripped-from-the-headlines docufiction starring an affable Paul Dano as Keith Gill, AKA Roaring Kitty. Thereas a lively bustle to Dumb Money, which successfully corrals a host of disparate supporting characters and parallel story strands. But this is exactly the kind of movie that you would expect from Hollywood, itself a heavily fortified industry controlled by the ultra-wealthy and ultra-privileged. Itas a triumph-of-the-underdog narrative that offers a gloss of rabble-rousing appeasement but which conveniently breezes past the fact that there has been little in the way of real and lasting change. The haves still have; the have-nots cling to a taste of what might have been.
