The efficient writing and effective direction is a bit too swift to let some of the plot points fully land, and it's tied up with far too neat a bow for such an otherwise complicated story.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 27, 2020

All of these wonderful performances... Unfortunately, they're forced to speak every thought in the filmmakers' head about the haves and the have nots of society.

I think the performances were great and the concept was solid. It was engrossing, but ultimately the resolution to mystery feels a little unsatisfying.

Damned if Human Capital doesn't undermine and undervalue its actors even when it's giving them rock-solid material to play.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 20, 2020

Frankly, the payoff to the movie's mystery is unsatisfying after all the buildup. None of these three stories really works as a short film on its own.

If you find hedge funds hard to wrap your head around, the movie "Human Capital" won't do much to ease the confusion.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 19, 2020

A character study that hasn't done its homework.

| Mar 19, 2020

The type of middling, middlebrow mediocrity that strives to be about capital-I Ideas but approaches them with the savoir-faire of a toddler.

| Sep 8, 2019

The solid performances and assured packaging make this a reasonably engrossing tale set in a convincingly upscale burg where some less-prosperous citizens are trying not to make their anxiety too obvious.

| Sep 7, 2019

A beautifully acted narrative braid whose strands support each other imperfectly.
