About This Movie

Worth (2021) dives into the heavy emotional landscape surrounding the aftermath of 9/11 through the eyes of Kenneth Feinberg, played by Michael Keaton. The film’s tone is somber yet introspective, capturing the weight of its historical context. There's a real sense of slow, deliberate pacing that allows the audience to wrestle with the moral complexities of valuing human life in the face of tragedy. Colangelo’s direction is subtle, letting the performances breathe—Keaton’s portrayal is particularly compelling, layered with a quiet frustration and determination. The practical effects are minimal, focusing instead on dialogue and character interactions, which adds to the authenticity. It’s a poignant exploration of grief, responsibility, and the often cold calculus of compensation amidst human suffering.
