WeWork: or The Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn Ratings & Reviews
Mashable
Angie Han
It's just not all that clear WeWork understands what precisely the story of WeWork is supposed to caution against.
Film Threat
Alan Ng
It mainly works because the story feels complete without missing bits of important information.
The Maine Edge
Allen Adams
Most of the time, talk is cheap, but in cases like this, talk is VERY expensive.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Amy Nicholson
It has some good access, but not too much wit or point-of-view.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Charles Solomon
An interesting -- but not great -- film, and a reason to keep your money under your mattress.
National Review
Kyle Smith
Dizzying and delightful.
Vanity Fair
Sonia Saraiya
If anything, Rothstein's documentary spares us some of the worst excesses of WeWork's corporate culture, and as a result, passes up on the opportunity to come down harder on the startup scene in general.
Crooked Marquee
Kristy Puchko
Rothstein effectively lays out the timeline of WeWork's meteoric rise and calamitous fall, but doesn't fill in the gaps with anything near as rich as a "$47 billion unicorn" premise suggests
The Film Stage
John Fink
Yet another fascinating example of the overhyping of so-called wiz-kids who are able to achieve growth thanks to dumb money, but can't manage through a downturn.
Newsday
Robert Levin
This is a compelling documentary that takes what might have been a dry subject and jolts it to life.
Washington City Paper
Alan Zilberman
Apart from an unnecessary footnote, Jed Rothstein's documentary is a thought-provoking, candid look at the rise and fall of WeWork.
Collider
Matt Goldberg
Jed Rothstein's documentary is a scathing breakdown of what happens when Silicon Valley image-consciousness gloms onto a pedestrian business.
Decider
John Serba
Never quite comes together coherently as a piece of journalism, or as a late-capitalism outrage piece.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
While it is insightful on the murky history of the business, it's missing more emphasis on the human experience specific to how demagogue Adam Neumann inspired thousands of people to believe in him.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
The movie relays a fast-paced, entertaining saga of WeWork's relentless self-selling and what it portrays as a cultlike corporate atmosphere.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Strauss
Rothstein wisely crafts his narrative so that a viewer recognizes "That could have been me" rather than clucking, "Those fools!"
The Hollywood Reporter
Inkoo Kang
The documentary is just as notable for the cultural and social analysis that it lacks as it is for its contents.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Kupecki
WeWork could have perhaps shown more of that human element in the film, but that's a quibble for an engrossing deconstruction of 21st century folly.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
Jed Rothstein's engrossing documentary charts the saga of one massively overhyped, fiscally overvalued startup.
IndieWire
Ben Travers
That version of Neumann is just one more tech yuppie full of hot air, and "WeWork" doesn't work hard enough to convince us why anyone would believe he's a unicorn, let alone what broke the spell.
