Kenneth Feinberg, a powerful D.C. lawyer appointed Special Master of the 9/11 Fund, fights off the cynicism, bureaucracy, and politics associated with administering government funds and, in doing so, discovers what life is worth. Based on true events.

Critics' reviews

"A fine and uncharacteristic performance by Michael Keaton provides the main selling point for this intelligent if not entirely realized political film"

Todd McCarthy: The Hollywood Reporter
"Michael Keaton anchors a sensitive drama about insurmountable american tragedy (...) Part character study, part bureaucratic nightmare"

Kate Erbland: IndieWire
"'Though Feinberg is a singular figure in modern American history, 'Worth' hammers his story into a standard biopic template"

Amy Nicholson: Variety
"It’s a little too neat and tidy at times, but Colangelo’s direction here is nuanced and emotionally resonant, allowing her performers to move beyond the melodrama and into something that feels genuine."

Brian Tallerico: rogerebert.com
"At almost two-hours 'Worth' somehow feels almost twice as long (...) Colangelo and Borenstein are trying to cover too much ground (...) When 'Worth' is riveting it’s only when Tucci and Keaton are on screen together."

Gregory Ellwood: The Playlist
"Made with the respect and reverence that its subject deserves, Worth nevertheless remains a bit too stolid and too on-the-nose."

Anthony Kaufman: Screendaily
