Movies: The Founder

Michael Keaton has most certainly came back to the big screens. I think it all started with Birdman which I still have not watched.

This is the story of how McDonald's came to be possibly the reason for rising obesity. The book did touch on McDonald's but this film centers on its meteoric rise. As such, the twist in the movie didn't exactly surprise me. In a way, the film complements the book and fills in the gaps.

It's not a documentary per say and I don't know enough about McDonald's history to vouch for its accuracy but based on the book, it does feel close enough.
