The concept is no so ubiquitous that one of the fascinating things about the film is deconstructing our familiarity with it so that we can see where it came from. September 19, 2017 | Full Review…

The man, played with dark relish by Michael Keaton, has the fabulous name of Ray Kroc (there is a suitably reptilian air to his grin as he says things such as: "Contracts are like hearts. They're made to be broken"). February 16, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The Founder could have been a Preston Sturges-style comedy/biopic - a high-mischief fairy tale with moral resonance. Instead it does little but polish Ray Kroc's boots. February 16, 2017 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The Founder feels like a noble and worthy attempt to set the record straight, and on that front, it completely succeeds. May 1, 2020 | Full Review…

The Founder shows us how Kroc became a success, but skirts telling us the costs of that success and the end results. It wants to have its Quarter Pounder and eat it too. February 19, 2020 | Full Review…
