Critics Consensus

Human Capital merely rumbles when it ought to roar to life, but it remains a solidly made opportunity for a strong cast to highlight its impressive talents.

2.5/4

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.

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.

3/5

Myers maneuvers us through this thorny morality tale with mostly positive results.

There's a noble effort from the script to keep things moving in this twisty tale – and it mostly ends up working.

Real life is messy, true closure is a myth - but rarely more so than in this movie.

I must commend the ability to deliver a complex plot simply. Gripping all the way through.

So annoying to see this limping version of the 2014 Italian film "Il Capitale Umano", which won a massive amount of awards. Scene after scene is copied even down to similar POV camera angles. But sadly no award party will ever be held for this one. The Italian version centred sharply on the ruthless violence of the business upperclass and its lack of sympathy to those who fail to-enter it. However this knife-edge is completely gone and in its place is a rather quaint table of very ordinary suburbanites.

Dividing the movie into 3 viewpoints was possibly necessary as a way to tell the story, but it ended up being annoying and stretched the story a bit beyond its welcome. Ultimately we didn't really care too much about the revelations of infedility and sexual preferences, just wanted to know whodunit. Actors were well-known, but only did their basic, except the younger ones, who seemed to really try harder, especially Maya Hawkes, who's got an attractive screen presence.

Dull, messy, all around the place family drama in the kitchen sink.

First 20 minutes were good and then it became a meandering, confusing, cacophony of drivel. Marisa Tomei should do better and the kids in this movie were horrible. I give it a two but could have been a four based on first 20 minutes.
