After a single father (Andrew Garfield) loses his family home during the foreclosure crisis, he attempts to regain his financial footing by working for the man who actually evicted him (Michael Shannon). The ethically complex world of home repossession frames the film’s discussion, but the father’s moral dilemna drives the drama. Garfield and Shannon both create compelling characters and the scenes of families being evicted are heartbreaking. An absorbing drama.
