Human Capital

Human Capital follows two families from different social backgrounds whose lives become entangled after their children start a relationship. Ian, a young man with ambitions in finance, begins seeing Shannon, the daughter of a man named Drew. A tragic accident upends both the couple and everyone around them, forcing the two families to confront each other despite the distance between their circumstances. The story is a crime drama about the consequences that ripple outward when money and class collide with personal choices.

Marc Meyers directed the film, which came out in 2020. It sits between two other features he made that same year, All My Life and We Summon the Darkness. Oren Moverman wrote the screenplay and also produced alongside Liev Schreiber and Matthew Stillman. The cast includes Schreiber as Drew Hagel, Marisa Tomei as Carrie Manning, Peter Sarsgaard as Quint Manning, Maya Hawke as Shannon Hagel, Alex Wolff as Ian Warfield and Betty Gabriel as Ronnie Hagel. Thirty-seven credited cast members and fifty-seven credited crew members worked on the production.

Released in July 2020, the film runs 95 minutes. On IMDb it holds a rating of 5.7 from around 9,800 votes, while on TMDB it sits at 5.6 from roughly 119 votes. A film critics' rating of 6 out of 10, based on 65 reviews, places it slightly above the audience scores on IMDb and TMDB, though all three sit in similar territory.
