Could have been much better - The Founder review by DH
You can't argue with a true story and from I read there was a lot of truth in this.
Told me a lot about the MacDonald chain and how it started. Interesting but there is a better movie to be made about this than they attempted here.

Decent biopic - The Founder review by PV
This is a decent biopic and worth watching for anyone who has ever eaten in MacDonalds.
Real sadness and meaning here too.
4.5 stars.

Facinating Story - The Founder review by SB
Very enjoyable film with good acting which showed the ins and outs of building big business and how cut throat people can be when making money.
