Following the horrific 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, Congress appoints attorney and renowned mediator Kenneth Feinberg (Michael Keaton) to lead the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. Assigned with allocating financial resources to the victims of the tragedy, Feinberg and his firm's head of operations, Camille Biros (Amy Ryan), face the impossible task of determining the worth of a life to help the families who had suffered incalculable losses. When Feinberg locks horns with Charles Wolf (Stanley Tucci), a community organizer mourning the death of his wife, his initial cynicism turns to compassion as he begins to learn the true human costs of the tragedy.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

It isn't as hard-hitting as one might expect, but Worth remains a powerfully performed and rewardingly complex dramatization of real-life events.

4/5
Colangelo's directing style is both precise and unostentatious. Here, she has given us a film which is unabashedly full of heart without ever veering on the needlessly sentimental. Go to Full Review
Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald Sep 9, 2021
4/5
You won't find a larger critique of the litigious nature of American society here, nor even the full story of the fund, but no matter. What's there is gripping and thoughtful, with outstanding work by Keating, Tucci and Ryan. Go to Full Review
David Sims The Atlantic Sep 7, 2021
Watching the bureaucracy shift from a source of frustration to comfort gives the film its arresting tension. Go to Full Review

Ultimately, like its protagonist, Worth can’t quite reconcile such a massive, complex issue. Its only answer to that central question of what life’s worth is is yet another question: "Is that it?" Go to Full Review
Annlee Ellingson CineWomen Jul 29, 2024
Though it’s unlikely that [Kenneth] Feinberg’s personal growth was tied so neatly to how the [9/11] dispensation actually played out, thematically this development can’t help but reflect on the current political climate. Go to Full Review

Only the acting talents of Stanley Tucci and Michael Keaton will hold your attention in this film, and it is for that reason only that the film should be sought out on Netflix this weekend. But don’t expect anything spectacular. Go to Full Review
