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.

Other reviewers criticised the lack of depth or storytelling. For me, that was the beauty of this documentary. It was an honest example of the huge difficulty that faces people who are homeless, and the community workers trying to provide support. Solutions are rarely easy and we are often left with many questions to be answered and unmet needs. Perhaps those who didn't like the doco were left feeling like the situation wasn't resolved. Perhaps that was the point. An extra 20 minutes sharing the interviewees solutions to the crisis would have made it a 10.

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.

'Should I feed my kids or pay rent!!" The choice is clear but why they are forced to make that decision? And this is a story of only only 31 sites in just one city in this developed and affluent nation .... Beneath the glitters and ritzy chichi exterior of a mega US city lies a scattered swamp of juxtaposition that unfortunately is a part of this humanity. In a given night, more than half-a-million people in this country face homelessness which is 17 of every 10,000 people ...this number is already exacerbated in recent years esp due to pandemic and is expected to rise... . Of the homeless people, 40% are African Americans and 20% are kids! The poignant stories that would tear up your eyes...However, it is too short and fails to shed light on the issue on a more efficacious way.
