Generation Wealth has admirable aims, but never manages to focus long enough to put together the type of cogent argument made by director Lauren Greenfield's earlier works.

Greenfield's titillating survey of America's grossest obsessions, from plastic surgery to porn, only flirts with economic and social context, mainly limiting itself to observation and personalization. July 27, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

"Generation Wealth" feels like it's all over the place, and that, if most of its subjects are lacking in depth, the movie itself is open to the same criticism. July 26, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

If "Generation Wealth" has a message that empty acquisitiveness is bad, it delivers it, like the rest of her work, by showing, not telling. July 25, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Generation Wealth is an unsatisfyingly superficial crash course in that enduring idea, a kind of omnibus of the photographer's fixations coalesced into one top-heavy, meandering production. January 15, 2020 | Full Review…

Despite its focus on materialism, Generation Wealth ends up as a tribute to loved ones, who bring richness to life that money cannot. March 25, 2019 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

Greenfield's takeaway -- money doesn't buy happiness, family is important, status is illusory -- feels too pat. It also ignores a larger point: The people here who claim not to want money are the people who've had it and lost it. November 13, 2018 | Full Review…
