"Definitely one of those movies that I didn't expect to enjoy, but I really did!"

"Really Good Movie About The History Of McDonald's And You Are Definitely Going To Hate Ray Croc"

Amy Santi

"What I like most about 'The Founder' is that at no point is our lead character the "good guy"! That might sound bad. In a movie about McDonalds though, it makes perfect sense!"

"I wonder how many people think Roy is the "hero" just because he made the money in the end. That's the scary part of this movie. It's advocating for greedy. overall very smart commercial for McDonald."

"such an amazing and sad story. it makes you never want to support the business again. I think it's a great representation of the American dream and what people think it entails vs what it actually takes to build these kinds of empires. "
