I really enjoyed the film, but I'm not sure if I'll have a desire to rewatch it much. That being said, Christian Bale gave a phenomenal performance as a man struggling with himself over his actions and comes across as incredibly endearing.

[Show spoiler] The scene where he begins to come to terms with the fact that he may have made the wrong move when he's questioned by one of his workers stands out as the highlight of the film for me personally.

One of the problems with the film from my perspective is that I never really connected with any of the other characters quite as much as I did with Michael Burry.

It's a great film, and one that everyone should see, but unless the special features are outstanding I think I'll be passing on a purchase unfortunately.

Yeah. It seems like a lot of dramas, and for some reason especially Oscar contenders, usually fall into the 'watch not own' category...
