It has taken more than a year and a half after its January 2020 Sundance Film Festival debut for the compelling true story of the battle for the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund to finally be released. It just may be that Netflix, which picked up the film there, was waiting for the 20th anniversary of the attacks to make this even more timely. Regardless, it is wellthat wait.
Keaton plays Feinberg, a man who with his longtime associate Camille Biros has done this sort of work for other disasters, and actually continues to do it to this day. But in being brought in by the George W. Bush administration to create a fund that would fairly compensate the victims and first responders of 9/11 based on their salaries, net worth, families and other considerations, Feinberg walked into a powder keg of raw emotion and many roadblocks.
Speaking to a packed auditorium with the families of victims, Feinberg gets his first taste that assigning a dollar figure to help make up for the loss of someone you loved, especially in this case, would not be easy to sell.
Getting the required numbers needed to trigger the fund in the roughly two-plus years he is given is an enormous and seemingly impossible mountain to climb, but this story will have you cheering like you are watching amovie. The fact that it makes you feel better to be a human being by its end is why for me it is one of the best pictures of 2021 .
Keaton is understated and authentic throughout, something of an unexpected and quiet hero who just keeps plugging along no matter how dark the prospects of success become. Ryan superbly complements him, and Tucci, so good in everything, is especially fine as Wolf. All those characters are based directly on the real people involved in this true story, while the family members and other victims are composites drawn from the actual stories Feinberg tells in his book.
