About
You’ll likely enjoy Generation Wealth if you like documentaries about status, consumer culture, and image over substance; Not for you if you want a tightly focused narrative without the director’s personal presence, or if you disliked The Kid Stays in the Picture or Woodstock: Three Days That Defined a Generation.
Pros: thought-provoking social critique; candid, open subjects; sweeping time-spanning scope | Cons: confusing structure; feels self-focused; disjointed at times
