Critics Consensus

Fueled by powerful acting and a taut, patiently constructed narrative, 99 Homes is a modern economic parable whose righteous fury is matched by its intelligence and compassion.

Max Weiss

Baltimore Magazine

99 Homes is worth seeing, especially for the urgent, raw work by both the actors and Bahrani, and for what it says about the American economy.

Rated: 3/4

99 Homes is very good at showing that the housing crisis is not a problem that belongs to one person.

Rated: 4/4

Sydney Morning Herald

The rackets and scams it exposes are all real, the result of extensive research. It's a gripping thriller with good guys and bad guys, but everyone in it is a victim, including Rick Carver. Bahrani's achievement in this film is breathtaking.

Rated: 4.5/5

Film Frenzy

Say this for 99 Homes: It contains arguably the most truthful snatch of dialogue to be found in any movie released so far in 2015.

Rated: 3/4

Deep Focus Review

99 Homes really belongs to Shannon, offering a portrait of a man who has long since stopped asking about the ethical implications of his actions and, only after a few drinks, hints that he laments having to wear a concealed weapon.

Rated: 3/4

Features a gut wrenching eviction scene that establishes the tone for the rest of the film. It's the stuff they don't show you on reality flip shows, the personal, tragic side of foreclosure.

Rated: 3.5/5

I actually think it's a decently good movie but the last section felt a little unbelievable. First, his mom leaving with his kid seemed over-reactive based on everything they'd shown onscreen leading up to it. At least with respect to the motivations and building of what the characters wanted and cared about. Maybe they should have spent some more time developing Laura Dern's character. And then second, Andrew Garfield's character telling on himself at the eviction at the end... I kind of don't believe that he would do that given everything that led up to it. I could see it bubbling to a boiling point of some kind, but to do something so self-injurious would have to come from such desperation and be of the nothing-left-to-lose variety, and because I didn't really buy the believability that his mom would leave with his kid it made the final climax much less impactful, kind of ruining the movie for me. And then. It just. Ends. Pretty weird.

Very well done movie. Great directing, pacing, and great acting by Shannon and Garfield. The only negative is the subject material is depressing

During the Great Recession Dennis and his family are evicted from their home by a man called "Boss," Rick Carver. Unexpectedly, Dennis finds himself working for Boss in order to get his home back and make a lot of money in the process but at the price of his own integrity. Stellar performances all around, especially from the two leads. I loved the tension provided by the situation, the wrestling with one's own morality. Bahrani accomplishes a stirring thriller in which everyone is a product of the economy.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
