Lauren Greenfield continues her study of capitalism's effect on culture, this time attempting to focus on its generational impact. The film follows the formula found in the previous films where the phenomena is described through the most extreme stories and people with interviews and anthropological lense. While the subject is interesting and the directors self reflection brings another level of dept to the film, the film uses a lot of material from the previous films and ties into the directors work in photography, which means that the film relies on that the spectator is familiar with the director and her work elsewhere. While the stories told here are certainly interesting and somewhat eye-opening, there is so much packed content in the film that it seems to loose its focus and emotial impact at times.
