A restless pregnant woman gives a defiant 12-year-old boy a ride home and pushes him over an emotional line.

Matthew Monagle

Austin Chronicle

It may not be the filmmakers' fault, but Push feels like a time capsule, an acknowledgment of how bad things were even before they got so, so much worse.

Rated: 3/5

Times (UK)

Despite this, the tone of the film is jaunty, the pace is nifty and all the attention is grabbed by the central figure, the punkish and seemingly unflappable Leilani Farha...

Rated: 4/5

Guardian

Gertten does a decent job of delivering an economics lesson, explaining the complexities of the "financialisation" of residential real estate; most politicians, apparently, just don't get it.

Rated: 3/5

Hyperallergic

Such an expansive view of a global issue makes for a daunting experience, to say the least, but it's one well worth your time.

...needless to say, that ever-escalating wealth divide makes it pointless for a majority to even dream of the stability of home ownership.

Flickering Myth

An elegantly structured odyssey that covers thousands of miles, while never losing sight of the ordinary human beings behind the money and the statistics.

Excellent film about the role of private equity in exacerbating the global housing crisis. Time to get Wall Street out of housing.
