Capturing Neumann’s fall from grace, this film illuminates some of the most hard-hitting professional and social anxieties of our age.
It’s a story of very flawed people who followed the pied piper to a new world that doesn’t exist.
Between the talking heads, Rothstein also uses kinetic imagery and spry cutting to keep the potentially eye-glazing subject matter as gripping as a true crime mystery, which it kind of was.
There’s a largely automatic nature to this informative documentary; much of what unfolds here is depressingly prototypical.
The film is fascinating on cult capitalism and the power of personality as a marketing tool for an otherwise unremarkable business plan.
The film ultimately suffers from an overfamiliarity in not just construction but content; the “WeWork” documentary paints a broad portrait of what happened without expanding on (or even including) details that made previous exposés so juicy.
The documentary is just as notable for the cultural and social analysis that it lacks as it is for its contents.
