The Playlist
99 Homes is by no means a perfect film, but it can achieve something more precious, and rarer than glossy perfection: it can take you by the shoulders and shake the apathy and complacency away. - 80
CineVue
[Bahrani's] created a complex and thoughtful political drama with the speed and tension of a good thriller. - 80
The Guardian
This is a tough, muscular, idealistic drama that packs a mighty punch, and Shannon and Garfield are excellent. - 80
Empire
Some plot developments are more convincing than others, but it’s still a compelling drama with an impressive turn from Garfield as well as Shannon and Dern as Garfield’s concerned mother. - 80
Village Voice
The film is more closing argument than portrait of life in the downturn, but it's thrillingly vigorous in its damning. - 75
Hitfix
Other than the unsubtle but vivid storytelling, the main joy of 99 Homes is seeing two excellent but very different actors spark off each other for almost the entire runtime, in a brace of performances both brilliant and brilliantly matched. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
An urgent work, the burning anger of which will viscerally connect with many viewers, who will recognize themselves or people they know up on the screen. - 70
Variety
This dynamically acted, unapologetically contrived pic reps the filmmaker’s best chance to date of connecting with a wider audience — one likely to share the helmer’s bristling anger over corruptly maintained class divides in modern-day America.
