Really Good Rejects Review | SXSW2022

Really Good Rejects Review | SXSW2022

Austin, TX has a well renowned and fantastic music scene. At SXSW, not only is it shown in their music section of the festival (with artists like SASAMI, Ringo Deathstarr, Wet Leg, Japanese Breakfast, and Linqua Franqa playing), but also on the 24 Beats Per Second documentaries in their film festival. One of the most interesting ones playing this year is Alice Gu’s Really Good Rejects. The doc covers the life of Reuben Cox, a modern-day luthier.

WeWork: or The Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn is a fascinating and frustrating exploration of greed, arrogance, and abuse of power. The story of WeWork is the story of Adam Neumann. A fast talking, passionate con artist that managed to build one of the biggest corporate flameouts and venture capitalist investments in recent year, and managed to crash it all in the blink of an eye. Adam had more than charisma. He had a disarming hippie-messianic approach that came across as loving and optimistic and disguised his delusions of grandeur as a desire for community. For those…
