When someone says “eat the rich” these are the assholes they are thinking about.
One of the most entertaining documentaries I’ve ever seen and a rare one I have watched multiple times.
Good doc, a nice glimpse into the world of the filthy rich. Just seeing how detached these people are from reality is fascinating.
Interesting subject matter for a documentary, strange but very good
An almost sickening look into the life of the filthy rich. I found it fascinating.
It’s so rare to see a documentary that is meant to be about one thing and is forced to pivot to change its subject entirely like this.
Good case study, fun to watch but you cant help but feel sad for the family which further draws you into this doco. Worth a watch
Such a horrible family. It was an okay doc it was just not for me
Super depressing and kind of awful people all the way through.
The film itself is fine, but it’s uncomfortable to the point of being creepy honestly.
