Director Lauren Greenfield commits a cardinal sin in documentary film-making. Instead of making this film about its subject matter, she makes the film about her. Rather than getting a deep, interesting exposé about our obsession with wealth and how it corrupts people, we get a facile, uninteresting examination of Greenfield, her parents and her (very reluctant-looking) children.
It's a real wasted opportunity, and largely a waste of time if you're interested in what the film is advertised as being about.
