Not since 1993's Sliver have we seen such a tour de force performance from Billy Baldwin. Like a swarm of biblical locusts, his talent emerges once a generation to stun the masses and terrify those who aren't prepared. Must have been rough living in the shadow of Alec, a supernova talent. This film sets thing right with that inequity. Beverly D'Angelo is great as always, if eerily well preserved. All in all this is a solid well executed film worth seeing. Be patient with negative reviews on here, many are not comfortable with homelessness to begin with and that will color what they have to say.

This film is a worth a look. Not just because it addresses some serious issues facing humanity, but also because of an unlikely cast members inclusion. Billy Baldwin may be the subject of endless jokes - nepo boomer, Alec warmed over, it never ends. And making a movie with Billy Baldwin isn't easy. Ask anyone who has tried. His filmography is a long list of wrecked projects and broken dreams. But his equitable performance-if you're willing to call it a performance-doesn't actually ruin this movie.

Which is surprising. He brings a certain diversity when it comes to talent levels. Not everyone has to be an ace.

I personally thought the narrative and the structure of the film was capturing. The atmosphere of the film allows the audience to be immersed in the difficulties of the protagonist, navigating through homelessness. The film portrays how easily anyone - even those who seem secure - can find themselves homeless. With all the wildfires and other natural disasters our attention was focused on recently, the film felt timely and topical. The film is a good reminder to not forget about our fellow, less fortunate, citizens. The director was successful in executing an engaging film while keeping true to the main message of this social impact film.

To call this script half baked would be a compliment well beyond what would be accurate, it is quarter baked at best.

It succeeds in making the audience empathetic but that is the most it accomplishes, the same effect can be achieved in reading an article about problems faced by the homeless and causes of it, which simultaneously appears to be the most research done by these writers. It has its moments but they are almost all at the end and they really aren't earned, neither do they achieve the desired effect they think it does.

My review gives this 3 stars, two of which come from half of the box office proceeds going towards assisting the homeless, I can always respect a studio practicing what they preach. And the other star is for the acting despite a script desolate of character depth and proper substance, it fails in all other regards.

The film tackles stories that are experienced by real people across the country who experience homelessness. The star-studded ensemble gives insightful and heart-filled performances that audiences empathize with. Each character's story was unique to their situation and was portrayed with realism and authenticity. It gives various perspectives on how homelessness has affected these people throughout their lives.

The direction of this film hones in on the idea of sympathy for those who are less fortunate, leaving audiences inspired and willing to make change. In addition to pursuing further efforts extend aid for mental health and substance addiction/abuse.
