The Guardian
Equity takes us inside modern Wall Street in a unique and gripping manner. - 80
The Hollywood Reporter
Equity is a smart thriller set in the corporate world that disguises its modest budget with an intelligent script and good set of hooks. - 75
Slant Magazine
The film ultimately succeeds in offering a fresh female-centered perspective on its genre material. - 75
Rolling Stone
To the credit of this scrappy, admirably femcentric film, crisply directed by Meera Menon from a tightly wound script by Amy Fox (with Reiner and Thomas also doing double-duty as producers), Equity refuses to paint a rosy picture of women at the top. - 70
Screen Daily
Equity is a smart Wall Street thriller which is most engaging when it’s exploring the obstacles facing its female protagonists specifically because of their gender. - 67
The Film Stage
Equity is more nuanced, if not as ferociously confidant as that 1987 Oliver Stone film, here focusing on the nitty gritty of a market launch of a social media-style security company. - 67
The A.V. Club
Equity may not be the fanciest or flashiest of financial thrillers — more like off-brand David Fincher or Steven Soderbergh — but it gets the job done. - 63
New York Post
Ultimately, I found the story surrounding Equity — that it is a movie about women on Wall Street, financed largely by actual women on Wall Street — more interesting than the movie itself, but it does contain its share of memorable moments.
