A Family Man
“What are you working for?”
Drama
Dane Jensen is a driven, Chicago-based headhunter, working at a cut-throat job placement firm. When Dane's boss announces his retirement, he pits Dane against Lynn Vogel, Dane's equally driven but polar-opposite rival at the firm, in a battle for control over the company.
VIBE
This film feels like a pressure cooker, with a relentless drive for success clashing against the quiet desperation of family life. It's a stark, often uncomfortable look at ambition's cost, set against the backdrop of a competitive, unforgiving world.
