🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its argument by weaving together a tapestry of personal testimonies from small business owners, workers, and community leaders. It relies on firsthand accounts and investigative footage to explore the human cost behind corporate efficiency.
What lingers after the credits is a palpable sense of ethical unease and a critical view of everyday consumption. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Robert Greenwald
