3/4
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. Go to Full Review
Alissa Wilkinson Christianity Today 04/13/2016
4/4
99 Homes is very good at showing that the housing crisis is not a problem that belongs to one person. Go to Full Review
Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald 11/19/2015
4.5/5
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 05/12/2022
3/4
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. Go to Full Review
Richard Crouse Richard Crouse 03/04/2021
3.5/5
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. Go to Full Review

John M Nov 2 Yet another $1.4M (very small) grossing movie that I thought was fantastic and deserved a much larger reward for the tremendous effort and result. It's also, for me, the second movie in a row where I agree much more with the Tomatometer than the Popcornmeter. All the small run theaters in my city disappeared about... 15 years or so ago. What happened? See more James B Sep 18 This movie was a very dark look at the real estate industry. It was eye opening and was really impactful. This was a movie that kept my attention throughout, but also made me wonder if situations like what was pictured exist. It was just heartbreaking to see families being vacated from their homes and some of the ways that people were using that for profit. See more Steven T Jul 3 Should be required watching for anyone considering a glamorous career in real estate. There will be even more of these scenes unwinding in overbought blue state cities being abandoned by investors and workers.
