United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"While the severity of the film’s environment convinces, the specifics of Amy Fox’s screenplay(...) are less consistently persuasive."	NEU
United States	Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"An entertaining and smart feminist feature (...) Equity offers a notably different view of the world of stock and shares from such recent Wall Street stories"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"A nicely subdued critique of the invisible obstacles many women must confront on a daily basis that their male counterparts never need bother with (...) Equity is a very human thriller with a grim moral"	POS
United Kingdom	Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"Equity takes us inside modern Wall Street in a unique and gripping manner (...) All of the performances are top notch (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"A feminist thriller sharply attuned to the nuances of its chosen milieu"	POS
