Worth (2020)
9/10
A beautiful addition to 9/11 cinematography
18 September 2021
People who went into this movie expecting an intense, courtroom drama confound me. This movie had an amazing cast who understood the quiet dignity that this story needed. It perfectly balanced the rational and emotional needs of the post-9/11 families for closure and help. All this film asks is that you, too, pay attention and decide what a human life is really worth.

Michael Keeton gives a fantastically understated performance that shows both the triumphs of human nature and the darker desires of corporate America. Stanley Tucci's performance likewise gives a powerful yet soft portrait of the man not desperate for compensation, but for compassion.

That is the final message of "Worth." The days after 9/11 were filled with so much grief, yet also an abundance of empathy and compassion. And while some used this tragedy to gain more or used grief to overrun grieving families, there were also the "necessary evils" in men like Feinberg, who genuinely wanted to help, but didn't always get it right.
