Analysis

Generation Wealth is a watchable movie with a lot of potential. The documentary is knowledgeable. However, towards the end the writers lost motive of writing this documentary in the first place. Although, it includes a wide range of celebrities, the film ends on a personal note. It should be named Generation Wealth of Lauren Greenfield, the film has a more personal tone rather than being a critique on the society. It tracks Lauren’s obsession only. But the storyline is quite intense and exciting. It does experiment on the people born with silver spoons and how their material obsession grow over time. The documentary is definitely authentic as the writer conducted the first-person interview with the celebrities.

The film is plain and essential. The writers missed the opportunity to add depth to the documentary. But overall, it showed the sad reality of the affluent society. The people often compromise with their relationships and their life in order to fulfil their desires for the money and wealth. It presents a critique on the society where the undeserving people often receive the rewards just because of their generational wealth that their family left for them. The cast has delivered nuanced performances. It forms a unique and knowledgeable story. The documentary has a fantastic cinematography. The soundtracks are also enjoyable too. It connects with the audience.

What's there? 

  •  The documentary is an experiment conducted on wealthy people.
  • The actors have also delivered nuanced performances.
  •  The soundtracks and cinematography are excellent.
  •  The execution of the film is neat.
  •  The documentary is factually valid.

What's not there?

  • The documentary ends on a personalized note.
  • Rather than covering a large number of people for documenting the film broadly explored the life of Lauren Greenfield only.

Verdict

Despite of all the shortcomings in the documentary, the film deserves one watch. It will expose you to the up and down of the wealthiest people the world ever saw.
