Sometimes both critics and awards ceremonies completely misjudge exciting works of art. For example, the critics savaged "Jesus Christ Superstar" when it debuted on Broadway. But it turned out to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. Audiences recognized that. Another example is "The Big Lebowski" with Jeff Bridges, the dude. Now the movie is a cult favorite. The characters are wonderfully entertaining. Some critics even rewrote their reviews, admitting their error. I call this the Van Gogh Principle.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen in this case, but thanks for playing. I've got to ask however given the way it's written, did you have this sitting in a drawer since 2016 and just decided to post it now?
I purchased a new Amazon fire cube two weeks ago and was tooling around on the free movies menu when I came across this film. I was really surprised that anyone would even make a movie about business accomplishments. Normally you would think that Hollywood would turn backs on such a subject matter because it is not a genre that attracts young movie goers. I'm glad they made it because it is also educational. I was surprised to learn that Ray Kroc even had to mortgage his house to start his first McDonalds restaurant. He scaled a truly tough road.

Most of the movies and plays you mention on your list are fictional. Show me a movie that explores the details of franchising and the inner workings of how restaurant franchises got off the ground in the USA. Founder demonstrated in stark terms the difficulty and hardships of any person can face when launching a new concept for a business. In a way, the movie is educational. And no one can take away the brilliant performance put in by Michael Keaton. As proof, the movie has exceedingly high ratings on Amazon.com Kudos to Michael Keaton. He earned it.

You got me there. Hollywood has virtually ignored the inner workings of how restaurant franchises get off the ground. I know I was shocked to learn Burger King was not really started by a King at all. A detailed movie about the subject would have set me straight years ago.

You're not explaining a positive. Franchises like McDonald's strangle small & local businesses. Ray Kroc was a vulture. They don't even give a **** about their franchisees and will push more costs at them with their own demands.
