Film Threat
Human Capital is a fantastic study of people being pushed to their limits, not just financial, but emotional and social. - 75
Movie Nation
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. - 70
Screen Rant
Meyers' disjointed approach to Human Capital expertly weaves its story into a gripping mystery that's further elevated by exceptional performances. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
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. - 60
Variety
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. - 50
ScreenCrush
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. - 50
New York Post
If you find hedge funds hard to wrap your head around, the movie Human Capital won’t do much to ease the confusion. - 50
Los Angeles Times
A magnificent cast only partially compensates for the fizzling narrative.
