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.

I know what America is trying to do here, appear moralistic etc. but we know it's all about money and power.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Watching the bureaucracy shift from a source of frustration to comfort gives the film its arresting tension.

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.

A film of extraordinary patience, empathy, and even unconscious bias that come with doing the right thing.

WORTH, a film about the September 11 Victim's Compensation Fund and the work of Ken Feinberg in assigning compensation amounts to the victims' families, uses two very good actors (Michael Keaton and Stanley Tucci) in a strong and even riveting conflict.
