Mekeisha Madden Toby TheWrap Just keep in mind this is a revealing but upbeat documentary of new Detroiters made by non-Detroiters. If you want a more homegrown take you'll have to see a different movie. Rated: B- Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Adam Graham Detroit News "Generation Startup" has lofty goals, but its reach is overextended.
