A routine story that is more about a depiction of the American drive for material success than an exposé newspaper story. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

nick s 12/03/2023 Quite a well told story. It was easy to guess where it was going, yet it wasn't too cliche. Some of the cinematography and blocking was a little lifeless but the acting overall was great. Well worth a watch. See more Read all reviews
