Our take

After reviving the old Disney magic with Saving Mr. Banks, director John Lee Hancock went on to portray the world’s largest fast food empire in this feel-good underdog drama. A morality tale on the many facets of the American dream, The Founder sees Michael Keaton in an electrifying lead role.
