      Mark Kermode Observer (UK) Katharine Round's good-looking, slickly produced documentary provides yet another reminder of the growing divide between rich and poor in the UK and US. Rated: 3/5 Apr 24, 2016 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian A fierce, unsettling film. Rated: 4/5 Apr 21, 2016 Full Review Phil W. Bayles Little White Lies Round is preaching to the choir, but the sermon is worth listening to. Rated: 3/5 Apr 21, 2016 Full Review Phil W. Bayles One Room With A View The Divide actually says little that hasn't already been said. Rated: 3/5 Apr 4, 2019 Full Review Sarah Manvel Critic's Notebook There's nothing here to convince a rich person that perhaps there's an easier way for him or her to maintain his or her comfort. And the working-class people already know what they are going through. Aug 11, 2018 Full Review Kevin Harley Total Film Travelling from gated communities to Glasgow, Round earns the trust of KFC employees, Wall Street wonders and more to show how we have been "submerged" in our financial lives. Rated: 4/5 Jan 2, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member Super weak ending ruins this. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A film that puts a human face on the sterile phrase "income inequality." This engaging and well-produced film provides a historical context for the descent into poverty of the working class as western nations' economies have transitioned from industrial to low-paying service-based. Never preachy, instead it focuses on the lives of representative figures from both sides. Viewers are permitted to judge for themselves whether the American dream is still alive. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
