Human Capital review: a cracking social satire and a mystery story

Donald Clarke

---

the late discovery of a hitherto unseen character is a bit of a cheat,
but that trickery does allow Virzì to sideswipe carefully built-up
assumptions. At any rate, the film is as much a social satire as a
mystery story and, in that area, it works very well indeed.
