Praise for The $238 Million Dollar Apartment
Money money money… Filmmaker Toby Hubner documents, with cutting insights and self-deprecating wit, the toll that having it - and not having it - has taken on his own life, and is taking, in real time, on American society. Are wealth and success the same thing? Is it just sour grapes to call out the new exploding billionaire class in America? Or are we about to drive off a cliff? Is there hope? - Carlina F. Della Pietra, Emmy Award-Winning Writer
"If Tale of Two Cities were written today as satire, Dickens would be reincarnated as Toby Hubner, whose own life growing up in elite Darien, Connecticut, and then later residing in working class Staten island, gives him a humorist's insight into the foibles of conspicuous consumption by the new oligarchs." - Jeff Bewkes, former CEO TimeWarner
Hubner spins an engaging story that makes a disturbing point: the concentration of so much wealth in the hands of so few privileged people is a threat to the survival of American democracy. This is a sobering, important movie. - Bill Morris, Award-Winning Author of The Lions Finally Roar and Motor City Burning
