The Big Short presented the crisis from the perspective of the 1%, with “heroic” hedge fund managers scrambling to turn millions into billions. 99 Homes shows us what it was like on the front lines, with ordinary families rendered homeless by a complex conspiracy of the financial and legal system that no one fully understood. Even the film’s anti-heroes, Shannon and Garfield, eventually find themselves powerless in the face of what they’ve wrought, with their own petty greed outclassed and outgunned by the avarice of major corporations. 99 Homes brings these wretched vagaries out of the shadows and into sharp focus, telling a story that would be unbelievable if it wasn’t true.
