Jeremy of The Daily Rotation wrote, "Ramin Bahrani‘s 99 Homes is an example of exceptional performance-driven filmmaking that hits hard topics with strong drama. Bahrani’s latest film isn’t just a hot subject that can be very relatable. It’s also an emotional experience that’s universally dense, picking at the idea of what a home really means and just how far someone will go to protect theirs and their family. Andrew Garfield swings out of his now-debunk Spider-Man franchise into the hot and heavy with his best performance yet, while Michael Shannon‘s greedy and heartless performance comes loaded with a dark energy that only he can harness."

The Spider-Man from the rubbish movies and General Zod from Man Of Steel star in a film whose plot has some interesting parallels with True Detective Season 2.
But wait! Don’t let that less-than-glowing summary fool you – 99 Homes is a pretty great film that sticks the knife into society’s total disregard for the poor and twists, showing the extreme extents it takes to escape the spiral of poverty. You’ll be sickened, not just by what the film throws up, but by how you begin to accept the character’s actions as a necessity.
Deadline: Writer-director Ramin Bahrani’s 99 Homes was awarded the Grand Prize today at the Deauville American Film Festival. Starring Michael Shannon, Andrew Garfield and Laura Dern, the movie opens September 25 via Broad Green Pictures.

For three years (five, if you include the period spent filming and promoting), Andrew Garfield was Spider-Man. But now, with Marvel teaming up with Sony to create their own Spidey (to be played by Tom Holland, and incorporated into the “Avengers” side of the Marvel Universe), Garfield is out and on to other projects — including his upcoming drama “99 Homes.”
He says he was never Spiderman and yet won't shit up about Spiderman or Superhero films in general
I think he's hurt he got given a Superhero role and they've kicked him off only two films in.
I really dislike him, nor did I ever believe he had that Peter Parker quality...glad to see him go, and frankly, not so impressed by the new guy Tom either- but hopefully, he does better that AG.
It's a sad day when you can say Tobey Maguire was still the best Spider-man, even despite the tragedy that was Spider-man 3....aka proof that Raimi should be nowhere near a film again.
I saw the previews to 99 Homes and I wasn't impressed all. I won't be seeing that movie.
