Because she's the least impressive person there, right? Obviously a key source of the fuck up (fired the guy who actually found the issue before he could tackle it, seems in over her head all the time, and so on). That's because that's who her character actually is. She played it perfectly.

The head guy wasn't wrong when he fired her at the end.

What you people don’t understand is that that scene is gay. First of all it just glorifies Wagecucking and Meetings which is gay in itself. The entire movie is gay because it’s about a fake Firm and a fake GFC and fake ITE. A Film about Lloyd Blankfein buying congressmen in order to get bailouts and firing 5000 goyim would be 100x better

Are you joking? He was phenomenal in that role and was an absolute standout in a movie with strong acting.

Demi Moore was good and I'll defend her here. Her role was to play a certain type of person in that type of firm and she did that well. Many don't like that particular character but they are very important to the story and I think she correctly captured the combo of traits that define that sort of person. To the extent she seemed to not be the most impressive person that is because she wasn't the most impressive person. That's the character. She gets shitcanned and appropriately so.

This. The reason the movie works is because it does such a good job realistically capturing the sort of people that inhabit these sorts of roles and how they act in a crisis that was actually THE defining crisis of an era. That's what makes it totally brilliant. For people that have no experience working in that environment it may not seem great. Maybe they are puzzled at Demi Moore's character, but in reality she nailed it and pretty much everyone else nailed their characters too.
