Naomi Bishop is an investment banker determined to overcome a previous stain to her professional reputation, which is a challenge in the male dominated financial sector she works in. As Naomi in that spirit makes her move managing a burgeoning new tech IPO, she has to endure not only the condescension of her colleagues, but also her imperious client even as troubling new developments cloud the venture's future.

| TIME MagazineStephanie ZacharekYou don’t need to be a woman working in finance to get a shivery thrill—and possibly a few chills—from watching Equity, a modestly scaled but perceptive drama about an investment banker who just happens to be a woman. |
| The New York TimesA.O. ScottEquity pulls off a difficult balancing act with an elegance that should not be underestimated. It turns its unflappable gaze on a maddeningly complex reality and transforms it into a swift, clear and exciting story. |

| Tulsa WorldMichael SmithWhat's so fun and inspiring about Equity is watching all of these women really sink their teeth into their roles and this concept. |
| Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)Bob BloomThe film is a suspenseful, smart and sharp depiction of women trying to succeed on their talents in a world that mostly fails to appreciate what they have to offer. |
| Boston HeraldStephen SchaeferDirector Meera Menon's Equity unfolds like a ghoulishly fascinating horror story, one that asks you to guess who will survive in this shark tank. |
| Bowling Green Daily NewsMicheal ComptonIt's a refreshing spin that may not always hit the mark, but is effective enough to be worth a look. |
