Inside LuLaRich, directors Jenner Furst and Julia Willoughby Nason have embedded some equally compelling stories about why people get swept up by MLM fever and wind up bankrupting not only themselves but friends and family that they enthusiastically pull into the scheme with them.
-
Though not nearly as salacious as “Tiger King” or its ilk, “LulaRich” is still one of the juiciest docs of 2021 Snappy, intense, and thrilling, Furst and Nason craft a story you’d be willing to buy into, multiple times.
-
LuLaRich is entertaining and incisive.
-
The fact that they [the Stidhams] did sit down to talk to the filmmakers makes the docuseries 200% better. And that’s mostly due to the magnetic and somewhat unhinged personality of DeAnn Stidham.
-
A documentary that comes into focus as a clear-eyed accounting of an economy that seems to have an unsentimental tendency to encourage endless hustle, the perfect setting for a powerful narrative.
-
There are no surprises, but it fits a mold in a way that makes the mold itself suddenly visible, and that’s satisfying in its own way.
-
“LuLaRich” is short on comeuppance. But it provides a good deal of savvy sociology.
-
LuLaRich doesn’t break new ground at all, but it treats its vulnerable subjects with some empathy and effectively layers some of the wild (but really not so wild) twists that the story takes.
