With its stylish lines and creamy production values, "Human Capital" combines the luxurious look of a classic wish-fulfillment fantasy with a stinging critique of capitalism's excesses and psychic costs.

In "Human Capital," the destinies of two Italian families become intertwined after a hit-and-run accident in which the victim is a waiter.

Human Capital transplants the action from Connecticut to a wealthy suburb of Milan, but the theme remains the same: In our rush to attain supposed happiness through money and power, we often overlook the things that really matter and make us truly happy.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
Rotten
Though it initially shows signs of overcoming its creakiness, "Capital" loses value when its screenwriters try too hard to be clever.
Peter Keough, Boston Globe
