Review
"The Founder has its flaws, though not as many as its main subject, yet is an insightful look at the history of an iconic institution that doubles as a cautionary tale."--USA Today"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."--New Yorker"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
