99 HOMES - film / by Cut to the chase


99 Homes is not a doco but based on true events around the US housing crisis. I don't really agree with the common description of "thriller" but boy this is a great film.

Starring Andrew Garfield (Dennis Nash), Laura Dern (Dennis' mother Lynn) and Michael Shannon (Rick Carver), we follow Dennis' transformation from man having his home possessed to man doing the possessing, with dodgy wheeler and dealer Rick as his boss.

It appeared at the Melbourne International Film Festival earlier and the year and has been widely well reviewed.
