Reviews

AWFJ Women on Film

Nell Minow

An all-female-led production with an astute take on the world of Wall Street.

Gunn is strong as the central character, channelling the no-nonsense strength of her Breaking Bad character to put real meat on the bones of this shrewd investment banker.

FULL REVIEW

Battleship Pretension

Ian Brill

Equity is a fine example of how important issues are best framed in the most personal ways possible.

The film spends too much time unfurling its central plot, and gives short shrift to its most compelling moments, which arrive when the audience is given the opportunity to understand the women who carry that plot forward.

Although suffering from moments of unintentional camp thanks to some dramatic bits of dialogue, Entity manages to accomplish a lot with very little.

Common Sense Says

Fine acting elevates female-driven drama about finance.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Equity is a taut, intense drama about two women -- one in the banking industry, the other the prosecutor tasked with investigating that very industry -- struggling to make their mark in male-dominated fields. It's a cutthroat journey, and some scenes feature sharky, manipulative moves and betrayals that might be a little too intense for younger viewers, but integrity and the importance of ethics are also strong themes. Expect plenty of swearing (including "s--t" and "f-ck), social drinking, and kissing/intimate moments (though no nudity).
