'Owned' is a fever dream vision into the dark history behind the US housing economy. Tracking its overtly racist beginnings to its unbridled commoditization, the doc exposes a foundational story few Americans understand as their own.

An excellent, meticulous documentary giving the background of redlining, the development of segregated communities, and how classicism and racism are used to distract focus from the real cost of greed and ignorance. The details are clear and plain some have completely missed the message, just pay attention... it's all in the documentary. Well done!

Disappointed with this especially after the great work of Giorgio Angelini on "Feels Good Man", which was an amazing, deft presentation of narrative of an immense amount of detail. Here, the octopus, many faceted of the topic seems to overwhelm Angelini. His attempt to connect the beginning/end of the film, which is a personal life/worldview comparison, with the middle "facts/history" portion is embarrassingly amateurish. His has said in interviews his goal was to have the film connect emotionally. Who was the intended audience here? What pandering would reach anyone not living in a cave. Comparing a retired cop from Levittown gathering with friends for a meatball lunch with that of lame diversity session that attempts to surprise the audience with the unveiling of a convicted felon to be an educated, "articulate, black person" is the inch deep, inch wide stuff of a sheltered novice. Too, bad. The middle portion's presentation of the subject's history is the most successful and shows Angelini's promise as a filmmaker, but it's still overly ambitious in attempting to portray the intended scope of its topic in less than 90 minutes. Angelini's ability to keenly edit the many interviews into the narrative that keeps it from otherwise feeling slapdash and scattered. Hopefully it affords him more deserved opportunities, which include episodic ones.

Hard to imagine a "fun" documentary about housing policy. But came across this trying to find a doc about red lining. Didn't disappoint. And went places I didn't expect. Really beautifully shot too. Great characters. Don't understand all the negative reviews. It's like people who refuse to believe the civil war was about slavery. Anyway. If you're not crazy and enjoy good films, and learning, this is for you. If you're a racist. Idk. Maybe could also be for you too.

Don't know what more you want in a doc. Learned more in 80 minutes than most other docs. And it was fun to watch. Powerful ending too. We have so much to learn. The film is chopped up into four parts. It seems like it bounces around a bunch. And it does. But that's kinda the point I guess. You see how much housing effects so many aspects of life. Still thinking about this film days after.

To me, this film embodies the role art plays in culture. There is so much to be said here about the topics of the housing crisis, race relations in the U.S., and the role home ownership plays in our economy, that it's hard to even scratch the surface in 83 minutes. But this film offers a series of understated vignettes that give a gorgeously sparse sense of the problems we're facing. Because of its brevity, it leaves the viewer plenty of room to see themselves in these problems and ask ourselves personal questions about the solutions and the role we should play in those solutions. It asks important questions instead of trying to answer everything. It is surprisingly packed with information in spite of its spare desolation, and it makes you ache while still being a pleasure to watch. Highly recommend.

This is a great film done by thoughtful, conscientious film makers... it looks, sounds and feels correct. The subject matter strikes me as relevant and important to my values and it seems to be coming at a time when this sort of thought provoking is necessary. Nicely done.

Great film! This film has beauty cinematography, much done with drone footage, archival advertisements that take you back in time. I put this movie on in our Family Room and it drew in both my Spouse, and two of my kids, all of whom would typically be uninterested in such topics. I would highly recommend taking the time to watch this film!
