Human Capital (2020)

"Human Capital" is a drama that traces how one tragic accident ripples through the lives of two very different families. It exposes the moral compromises tangled up in class and money. The film builds its tension quietly, letting performances carry the weight of its themes. Valeria Bruni Tedeschi anchors the story with a restrained, aching turn as a woman drifting through her own marriage. Matilde Gioli plays the younger woman caught in the fallout. Her arc pulls the plot's darker secrets into view. Maya Hawke brings a searching, unsettled energy to the ensemble as well.

It's a quiet reminder that even the most measured dramas have their exposed edges.
