4 stars out of 5 -- THE FOUNDER is an absorbing and unexpectedly subtle movie about the genesis of the McDonald’s burger empire.
The Guardian
3 stars out of 4 -- Keaton is firing on all cylinders in THE FOUNDER and he makes this electrifying film something to see.
Rolling Stone
3 stars out of 4 -- THE FOUNDER is mesmerized by its hero, McDonald’s chain founder Ray Kroc, but horrified by how he built his empire. That kind of ambivalence is great; in fact it’s a hallmark of good drama.

People ask me all the time to recommend nonviolent movies, and now I have a solid option. You'll see nothing happen, good or bad, that will keep you up at night, but you will find yourself thinking about it after it's over.

Lagniappe (Mobile, AL)
[A] sharp and satisfyingly fat-free account of how a wily salesman took a lucrative Southern California burger joint and turned it into the world’s biggest fast-food empire.
Los Angeles Times
The Founder is an old man's The Wolf of Wall Street, a biopic of cruelty with its teeth dulled by fast food and its fierceness tempered by an overfull belly.

Film Comment
Product Description:
This biopic of businessman Ray Kroc (Michael Keaton) chronicles his work transforming McDonald's from a small burger chain in 1950s California to a global franchise. Along the way, he wrests control of the company from its actual founders, the McDonald brothers (Nick Offerman and John Carroll Lynch), who believe that Kroc's business decisions are stripping the restaurant of its heart and soul. Linda Cardellini, Laura Dern, B.J. Novak, and Patrick Wilson co-star. Directed by John Lee Hancock (THE BLIND SIDE, SAVING MR. BANKS).
