99 Homes (2014)

A recently unemployed single father struggles to get back his foreclosed home by working for the real estate broker who is the source of his frustration.

Good, committed drama exposes the moral twists you need to take to survive in a corrupt system, with Michael Shannon introducing another variety of a villain personality.

Just Like a Woman (2012)

Two women get on the highway heading to Santa Fe, one dreams of winning a contest held by a famous belly dancing company, while her friend has a secret: she's a fugitive from justice - accused of her mother-in-law's death.

Subtle, touching and at times exciting road movie reminiscent of Thelma & Louise, but less action-driven and with more feminist poignancy.
