      Gareth v Solid enough documentary that spends too much time on it's leader Adam Neumann, and not enough on the business side of the rise and fall of WeWork. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/23 Full Review patrick f I knew nothing about WeWork and don't really follow financial news, but still found the documentary interesting. It was well edited with the use of many interviews and numerous pieces of archival news reports. Can be a little boring if you don't care about the financial markets and stories from that industry. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review J R Not really the story of WeWork but the story of Adam Neumann Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/08/22 Full Review Audience Member This guy should've done better as a cult leader. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I knew nothing about WeWork and don't really follow financial news, but still found the documentary interesting. It was well edited with the use of many interviews and numerous pieces of archival news reports. Can be a little boring if you don't care about the financial markets and stories from that industry. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review dave d Informative, yet empty, Jed Rothstein's documentary film on WeWork and it's owner and founder Adam Neumann is ultimately limited by its scope. Often abrupt for no reason, Rothstein can't get his arms around the truth is stranger than fiction tale. After going on the journey it ends so fast it leaves you wanting more, but also wondering why more questions were not answered. If you like middle of the road docs about greed.... There are a ton better. Final Score: 5/10 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Leslie Felperin Financial Times Some might long for a deeper cultural analysis that explores the story's roots in late capitalist culture and the tech bro lifestyle, but informed viewers can look at the deep reporting here and draw their own conclusions. Rated: 4/5 Aug 18, 2021 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Fascinating on cult capitalism and the power of personality as a marketing tool for an otherwise unremarkable business plan. Rated: 3/5 Aug 15, 2021 Full Review Flora Spencer Grant Little White Lies A missed opportunity to interrogate workism and hustle culture. Rated: 2/5 Aug 13, 2021 Full Review Joanne Laurier World Socialist Web Site What stands out is how effectively Neumann was able to manipulate people who thought they were following a prophet, not a garden variety huckster. Jul 1, 2022 Full Review Danilo Castro Next Best Picture The only thing America loves more than a success story is an excess story, and WeWork is one for the ages. Rated: 8/10 May 17, 2022 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com Forbes editor Randall Lane has the best insights on Neumann's outrageous con game.
