Layer by layer, this dumbfounding movie devises its magical recipe, and dares us to resist it: ketchup, mustard, two slices of pickle, and hold the irony. Delicious.

Fascinating, subtle film on the machinations of Ray Kroc, the ruthless, insecure man who made a burger joint an empire and sold out its originators.

John Lee Hancock's knowingly mistitled biopic of McDonald's mogul Ray Kroc proves an unexpectedly piquant moral parable for the Trump era.

While it’s not necessarily saying a lot, “The Founder” is John Lee Hancock’s best film.

Michael Keaton has this incredible, I’m-at-the-edge-of-the-abyss look that should be taught as "the hangdog" in drama school.

'Spotlight' star takes on American hustler/fast-food–franchise visionary Ray Kroc in this remarkably timely drama.

“The Founder” is mesmerized by its hero, McDonald’s chain founder Ray Kroc (Michael Keaton), but horrified by how he built his empire.

Like its subject, the man who took McDonald’s from a single burger shop to a globe-straddling child-fattener, John Lee Hancock's The Founder can't stop selling.

And it certainly is dramatic material, but The Founder presents it as a generic “rise to the top” story without even the decency to suggest Kroc lost his soul along the way.

The details of the story are often fascinating (you’ll learn a lot about burger production), and the cast find plenty of moments to shine.

In the end, The Founder is little more than a deflating reminder, as if we needed one, that the winner takes all, and integrity isn’t always the key to success.

The tale of how Ray Kroc stole McDonald’s should be trenchant in its corporate satire, but it’s as bland and unchallenging as a Big Mac.

What’s in a name? Quite a lot if your name is Ray Kroc, who smartly surmised no one would want to buy a burger from a place called Kroc’s.

Michael Keaton's powerful performance in John Lee Hancock's The Founder is marooned in a wishy-washy story.
