The Big Short English difficulty

Is The Big Short good for learning English?

The Big Short can help advanced learners become more confident with fast and natural English. Learners will hear plenty of useful natural English, but some lines may still require a second listen. Following the story requires attention, so language difficulty is not the only challenge here. Listening can be difficult because the dialogue moves at around 122 words per minute, leaving little time to process each line. If your English is close to C1/C2, The Big Short can be useful for practising everyday conversation and informal expressions.
