Just watch 🍿 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/30/24 Full Review Julie R I was so surprised to see the bad reviews of this film! I do understand the criticism that Lauren spent too much time on her own family and herself, but I felt that it helped personalize her quest to understand what American values have become. She was looking inside her own life and loved ones to see what mattered to them, and how the constant greed around them effects their view of the world. I saw some people also took offense to her criticism of the "younger generation". Personally, I felt she was speaking out for them more than anything. She was showing the stress and depression so many young people deal with under the pressures of hyper capitalism. Overall, I thought this is a fascinating and important film. Also uplifting in it's own way, as you see many people sucked into a world of destructive greed pull themselves out and find a way back to themselves. I highly recommend this film to everyone, but especially to those feeling constantly weighed down by the ego and superficiality all around us. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/03/23 Full Review Remek K A series of unrelated vignettes intercut with the filmmaker's examination of her life and family, this disjointed documentary only partly delivers on its premise. Lauren Greenfield promises the viewer a cautionary tale about America's obsession with money and wealth, but what we get instead is an incoherent stew that seems to have been cooked up from scraps left over from previous projects. This is somewhat evidenced by several references to her chance encounters that birthed other projects. Ironically, Greenfield never fails to ostentatiously lord her entitled life of a Harvard legacy over the audience, with a less-than-subtle hint of her older son (crew, perfect ACT score as it is emphasized several times) being Harvard-bound as well. With the final scenes depicting a coffee table book of her photographs being printed and bound, one cannot escape the feeling of having been duped into watching a two-hour commercial. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic documentary into the lives of rich, famous, and mostly, the money hungry! Great flick. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/06/22 Full Review cinephile f I think it was brilliant. I love how the director reflects back the excess of western culture to the viewer. I'm surprised the reviews are so low. I really learned a lot from it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
