Gareth v @geewah 06/15/2023 Solid enough documentary that spends too much time on it's leader Adam Neumann, and not enough on the business side of the rise and fall of WeWork.

See more 03/23/2022 I knew nothing about WeWork and don't really follow financial news, but still found the documentary interesting. It was well edited with the use of many interviews and numerous pieces of archival news reports. Can be a little boring if you don't care about the financial markets and stories from that industry.

Often abrupt for no reason, Rothstein can't get his arms around the truth is stranger than fiction tale. After going on the journey it ends so fast it leaves you wanting more, but also wondering why more questions were not answered. If you like middle of the road docs about greed.... There are a ton better. Final Score: 5/10 See more Michael C @Michael71 07/06/2021 This documentary is not perfect, but it does a good job in showing how WeWork co-founder Adam Neuman lied and grossly exaggerated what exactly WeWork is and what it 's business model is. Neuman seemed more interested in throwing ludicrously overblown corporate events than actually doing work. He said publicly that he did not like offices that isolated workers from one another, yet he has a large corporate office that is isolated from other workers. He just thought he would convince people too give him money and that would keep WeWork going. Otherwise, the documentary felt a bit flat. Mainly because it seems very familiar. A documentary about a company or person who said they would change the world but they were a complete phony. We have seen that in other (and much better) documentaries such as the Academy Award nominated "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room" and "The Inventor". In the end, this documentary is not terrible, but it could have been better. See more Daniel O @Olshansk 06/19/2021 A very entraining look into the rise and fall (and maybe risk again?) of WeWork. At times it was engaging, ridiculous, exciting and educational. I wouldn't want to watch this film in a theatre, but watching it with my roommate at home and pausing every 5 minutes to discuss or look things up was a great Friday evening.
