A documentary about the emphasis society places on wealth and consumerism.
As the director tots up the high cost of toxic vanity to surprisingly moving ends, it's hard not to feel short-changed when she weaves in her own experiences.
Afraid to cut deep and a little too conservative.
A frustrating disappointment.
Director Lauren Greenfield is a brilliant photographer but her film is all over the place.
By examining her own attitudes towards wealth, work and success, and digging into her relationships with her family, her dissection of the American dream ends up being more personal than a simplistic critique of capitalism.
