Lead Me Home

I was really hoping to hear more about the lives of the people that they interviewed for this film. It felt like they sort of just brushed the surface with everything they asked and what they showed from these people's lives. The people they chose to interview are very interesting, but we only get to hear a few things about them throughout the film and I never really felt like we truly got to know them and what they experience. While this was interesting and entertaining enough, I just felt like they could have done so much more with it. Less long camera shots with music playing and more in depth character study of these people who are dealing with homelessness could have made this so much better.

This was an interesting look into homelessness. It doesn't glamorise or glorify it. It shows it's hard and cruel. Once again it shows that people are just people and that bad things happen to anyone.

It humanises them.

An interesting insight into several homeless communities around the USA. We follow several homeless people, but never really get to know any of them or follow them for a while. What's left is a superficial documentary with just a few too many drone shots and time lapses.

This short provides an impressionistic take on the challenges of homelessness on the West Coast. It's a well done-cinematically-panoramic view of the issue. It focuses on several persons and treats their story with dignity. It also hints at or states some causes of homelessness as well as ways we are trying to tackle the problem. But it isn't very insightful.

I think the film could have been vastly improved by either cutting it down by 20 minutes-the overall artistic point is conveyed in that amount of time. Or they could have fleshed this out into a feature by getting some historical context and expert interviews. As it is now it is too shallow for its runtime.

Way too short this is basically one interview and a little to no follow up on any of the homeless. This is just an "art" piece done in haste. You see better documentaries about homeless on youtube.
