Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online 09/02/2017
the film is so gripping, so mounting in its suspense that even as you struggle to keep together all its intertwining stories, you can't look away. Go to Full Review
Patrick Z. McGavin Chicago Sun-Times 04/03/2015
2.5/4
The film is further undone by an overwrought ending and toneless conclusion that proves too soft to energize the movie's implied though underdeveloped social critique. Go to Full Review
J. R. Jones Chicago Reader 04/02/2015
Valeria Bruni Tedeschi contributes an affecting performance as the rich boy's spiritually bereft mother, whose self-worth has been smothered by luxury. Go to Full Review
Dan Brightmore NME (New Musical Express) 05/26/2021
3.5/5
Virzi's compellingly bleak analysis attempts to humanise the carnage of capitalism and, though prone to melodrama, will make you consider the sad fact that in some ways we all boil down to the sum of our financial worth. Go to Full Review
Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com 07/18/2019
3.5/5
Human Capital plays like an icily precise neo-noir, but it's really an acidic black comedy as concerns the overriding selfish nature of humans. Go to Full Review

2/5
Human Capital stumbles on its blandly predictable, two dimensional characters and the implausible melodrama of its latter stages. Go to Full Review

KARL O @GalwayK 01/07/2022 Enough to keep me interested but left me cold. Some threads I'd like to have seen sown up. See more jorge g 12/31/2021 Great drama boosted by excellent performances and presented in a unique way, through the use of chapters that reveal the truth little by little. Apart from being a crime mystery, it is also a potent social class and character study. A truly fine film. See more Judy K 01/03/2021 This is a strong, moving film, about a hit-and-run tragedy and the lives of the people involved. The actors are all very real, and Bruni-Tedeschi is so beautiful that she lights up the whole movie. The music is powerful and lends the movie more depth than the rather slight story might have had otherwise. I'm sure it could be analyzed as social comment about the rich, and about the effect of wealth and lack of it, but I just was captured by the depth of the acting and drawn into the world of the people. Highly recommend it. See more 06/18/2020 The non-linear narration doesn't really work and the characters quite predictable. See more 06/04/2020 L'intreccio di due famiglie intorno ad un omicidio stradale è ben orchestrato e ben recitato da personaggi che riescono a distinguersi nonostante qualche cliché eccessivo. Il finale forse è leggermente sbrigativo; comunque ottimo film di qualità. See more 10/31/2016 Nice story presented from three viewpoints. It has been done before but not sure in europe. Very well produced and acted. People here are complex but still choose what is best for themselves and have not too many scrupules. Except maybe the one that provokes the accident, but then again, he provoked an accident that was grave. See more Read all reviews
