Quick Review: The retro tone, and outstanding set design will send you straight away into the era the whole thing takes place in, but that is not the film's biggest asset -- it's Keaton and his commanding, yet fascinating performance as the business-driven central character ready to step on anyone to achieve his goal. Due to its unfair nature "The Founder" may leave a bad taste in your mouth, but it daringly reveals some spicy facts behind the foundation of the world's most famous food chain.

This one's starting to grow on me; The Box is interesting but the cliffhanger ending just didn't sit right with me. I guess I'm one of the few idiots who wanted a definite answer to "what's in the box".
The Birthday Party was "mishandled". Could have been better if they did it as a tongue-in-cheek black comedy, but they had to be all serious and junk.
Don't Fall finally fares better. I think this is the best segment in the film.
As for Her Only Living Son, it was a little slow but the final act made it all worth it. I guess that one's my second favorite.
The wraparound actually confused me. Not about it's content, but the fact it is considered "horror". It ain't horrifying, just weird...and now I want a replica of that living dollhouse!
Kaijinu, though this comment is under the wrong review, I see your point. The Box was my personal favorite, and the wraparound was a pure state-of-the-art in my book.
