Following the horrific 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, Congress appoints attorney and renowned mediator Kenneth Feinberg (Michael Keaton) to lead the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. Assigned with allocating financial resources to the victims of the tragedy, Feinberg and his firm's head of operations, Camille Biros (Amy Ryan), face the impossible task of determining the worth of a life to help the families who had suffered incalculable losses. When Feinberg locks horns with Charles Wolf (Stanley Tucci), a community organizer mourning the death of his wife, his initial cynicism turns to compassion as he begins to learn the true human costs of the tragedy.

Critics Consensus

It isn't as hard-hitting as one might expect, but Worth remains a powerfully performed and rewardingly complex dramatization of real-life events.

Linda Marric The Jewish Chronicle Colangelo's directing style is both precise and unostentatious. Here, she has given us a film which is unabashedly full of heart without ever veering on the needlessly sentimental. Rated: 4/5 Sep 10, 2021 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald You won't find a larger critique of the litigious nature of American society here, nor even the full story of the fund, but no matter. What's there is gripping and thoughtful, with outstanding work by Keating, Tucci and Ryan. Rated: 4/5 Sep 9, 2021 Full Review David Sims The Atlantic Watching the bureaucracy shift from a source of frustration to comfort gives the film its arresting tension. Sep 7, 2021 Full Review Annlee Ellingson CineWomen Though it’s unlikely that [Kenneth] Feinberg’s personal growth was tied so neatly to how the [9/11] dispensation actually played out, thematically this development can’t help but reflect on the current political climate. Jul 29, 2024 Full Review Maxance Vincent InSession Film Only the acting talents of Stanley Tucci and Michael Keaton will hold your attention in this film, and it is for that reason only that the film should be sought out on Netflix this weekend. But don’t expect anything spectacular. Rated: C+ Mar 6, 2024 Full Review M.N. Miller Music City Drive-In A film of extraordinary patience, empathy, and even unconscious bias that come with doing the right thing. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 4, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Kyle M Unsung heroes with a noble mission tend to be obscured beneath the headlines, but their influences collectively build a worthwhile story. This film, with a reasonably explanatory title, adds onto the sensitively distraught narrative surrounding 9/11 with a finalizing question that pushes the thematic dedication with humane convictions empathetically written, during the financial complication as an unseen, unconsidered factor that was thrillingly treaded. At the end, it celebrates in memory after reactive, argumentative performances in concurrently compromising a line within respective objectivities, thus a positionally polished conclusion to the devastated impacts, despite the delivered pacing. (B+) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Patrick F This is a good film. Michael Keaton, Stanley Tucci, Amy Ryan, and Tate Donovan all gave really good performances. The film shows an interesting chapter in the 9/11 story. The sometimes competing interests of protecting the economy, helping victims' families, and giving those families a voice was brought to the screen with tenderness in this film. Well acted and directed. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Les N I know what America is trying to do here, appear moralistic etc. but we know it's all about money and power. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/10/24 Full Review Couch C Great movie, very well acted and produced. Even if the movie as a whole isn't historically accurate, it is still a fantastic story. I walked in blind and I recommend the same. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/06/23 Full Review Mason F It's what I expected sound of freedom to be cinematography is amazing music is only used during moments of importance and it doesn't immediately turn into an action thriller like sound of freedom Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/26/23 Full Review Mike C What a perfect role for Michael Keaton. The script is intensely written as most Americans can relate in some form or another. Very well done film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
