Capital Ratings & Reviews
Detroit News
Tom Long
In the end, "Capital" is just a dark comic sketch of bald-faced greed, with little nuance or real feeling.
Orange County Register
Michael Sragow
It's a bit like what The Godfather would have been if it had been set in "The Bank of Evil" from Despicable Me -- and if its antihero were a cipher instead of Michael Corleone.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Fourth-grade Marxism that compares banking to the Mafia and shows the suits standing up and cheering when their boss promises to rob the poor to pay the rich.
Newsday
John Anderson
Director Costa-Gavras takes a vaguely facetious tone toward the evils of global finance, which he concludes is a game for gluttonous boys.
indieWire
Eric Kohn
Gavras never forces the material into allegorical turf; it's a relatively straightforward look at the ramifications of getting blinded by dollar signs, with perhaps one of the most clearly defined visions of economic depravity since "Wall Street."
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
"Capital" is too cynical to ever really suggest that redemption is possible. Not that anyone watching will even care.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
The famously left-leaning Costa-Gavras is preaching to the choir in his indignation, but he does so in slick, brisk fashion.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
This is territory covered far more vibrantly in "Margin Call," yet director Costa-Gavras ("Z," "Missing") still has good, old-fashioned indignation to count on.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
The imagery is clich, and therefore ineffective; the characters don't seem to operate in the world of finance, but in the world of financial thrillers.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
The movie, based on Stphane Osmont's 2004 novel of the same title, is stiff and didactic. Even the high life portrayed in the film seems pallid, as if the director were frozen in disgust.
Slant Magazine
Steve Macfarlane
Costa-Gavras's new film is more a funhouse-mirror panegyric (albeit on an exhausted topic) than the staid thriller promised by its press materials.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
What's lacking is most surprising from this dissident filmmaker: the emotional outrage.
NPR
Ella Taylor
Costa-Gavras' film excels as a meticulously researched procedural that goes deep into the grime of greed, deception and cynical exploitation.
The Hollywood Reporter
Deborah Young
A serious European financial thriller is something of a novelty, and Costa-Gavras, the militant film master par excellence, shows perfect timing in his ambitious Capital, a film that lingers in the memory in spite of being rather irritating to watch.
Village Voice
Jon Frosch
A tacky corporate noir that makes you long for the leanness of Margin Call, or even the clumsy theatrics of Arbitrage ...
Variety
Joe Leydon
A cracking good melodrama set in a contemporary world of high finance and low cunning.
The Playlist
Kevin Jagernauth
Le Capital reconfirms that yes, the system is deeply unfair and highly manipulated, but that point has already been made more than once, so where do we go next?
Oregonian
Marc Mohan
Straight-faced depictions of cartoonish villainy and an uncompelling protagonist add up to a well-intentioned flop, which probably seemed like a capital idea but ends up being closer to capital punishment.
Bloomberg News
Greg Evans
Costa-Gavras has a good ear for boardroom doubletalk and cutthroat shenanigans, but can't quite decide whether to praise his young prince or bury him.
Film Journal International
Doris Toumarkine
The film may not be as elegant as previous financial procedurals...Maybe the complex plot is the message here, illustrating the opacity that allows these guys to get away with so much.
