REVIEWS
“This is social realism that doesn’t need gloss or
melodrama to make its point.”
“This is an exceptional film that provides a visceral view of what millions of homeless people face daily.”
“A very powerful film.”
“The main character doesn’t speak a word in this, yet he has an arc that comes in full circle.”
