During this time, the United States was in the midst of an economic recovery following the recession of the early 1990s, with the presidential campaign between George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Ross Perot heating up. The country was also grappling with social issues including crime rates and education reform. In Hollywood, film critiques reflected a shift away from glitzy portrayals of success to more grounded narratives, as evident in two reviews of films that debuted around this date, exploring themes of failure and redemption.
