Film ThreatAlan NgSep 14, 2019
Human Capital is a fantastic study of people being pushed to their limits, not just financial, but emotional and social. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreMar 10, 2020
There are missteps, threads that seems to clash with everything that’s woven around them. But Moverman and director Marc Meyers (“My Friend Dahmer”) keep that loom weaving, their story moving forward and their movie about the sometimes discounted value of Human Capital perfectly engrossing, from start to finish.

Screen RantHannah HoolihanMar 26, 2020
Meyers' disjointed approach to Human Capital expertly weaves its story into a gripping mystery that's further elevated by exceptional performances. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeSep 14, 2019
Engrossing on a moment-to-moment scale thanks so some very fine performances, the film doesn't click together in the transformative way such stories occasionally do, and does less with themes of wealth and class than it surely intends to. Read full review

VarietyDennis HarveySep 14, 2019
This “Capital” succeeds as a well-acted crisscrosser of a melodrama between two awkwardly entangled families in upstate New York. Where it falls well short is in attaining the level of biting social commentary Virzi drew from the same material. Read full review

Human Capital is so exquisitely cast, down to the smallest role, that it puts viewers in the unusual position of wishing a film were a TV series or a much longer movie, the better to take advantage of its best assets. Read full review

A magnificent cast only partially compensates for the fizzling narrative. Read full review

ScreenCrushSep 14, 2019
A solid, workmanlike melodrama with an attractive ensemble cast. What it lacks is the flair and substance that marked Paolo Virzi’s 2013 version of the same material.

If you find hedge funds hard to wrap your head around, the movie Human Capital won’t do much to ease the confusion. Read full review

The New York TimesWesley MorrisMar 19, 2020
The Italian movie, which Paolo Virzì directed, had a marrow-deep instinct for class. There were higher costs. The people in it were stranger, with sharper angles; they were alive. This new movie, which Oren Moverman wrote, Marc Meyers directed and has parts for Liev Schreiber and Marisa Tomei, is a character study that hasn’t done its homework. Read full review
