Capturing Neumann’s fall from grace, this film illuminates some of the most hard-hitting professional and social anxieties of our age. Read full review

The GuardianPeter BradshawAug 12, 2021
Jed Rothstein’s very entertaining documentary is another horror story from the tulip-feverish world of tech startups. Read full review

Film ThreatAlan NgApr 7, 2021
It’s a story of very flawed people who followed the pied piper to a new world that doesn’t exist. Read full review

IndieWireBen TraversMar 26, 2021
The film ultimately suffers from an overfamiliarity in not just construction but content; the “WeWork” documentary paints a broad portrait of what happened without expanding on (or even including) details that made previous exposés so juicy. Read full review
