First there's the confusion, then the pleading; indignation follows before, finally, resignation. The young couples and the befuddled old man and the parents carrying tiny babies all end up the same way: standing on a curb surrounded by as many valuables as they could carry while their neighbors look on. Director Ramin Bahrani, who wrote the script with Amir Naderi and Bahareh Azimi, spent significant time researching the housing crisis, including witnessing actual evictions, and the episodes he has re-created feel powerfully realistic. [...] it's not long before Dennis starts helping with shadier business and is even assigned to evict honest, hardworking people just like him. The movie also dabbles in advocacy, aiming to get people talking about injustices worth discussing.
