Des vies sans toit (2021)
Lead Me Home is a documentary short that captures the experience from multiple perspectives. This immersive, cinematic film personalizes the overwhelming issue by telling the real-life stories of those going through it as a first step toward challenging uninformed attitudes and outmoded policies and gives the audience a rare, in-depth look at the scale, scope and diversity of unsheltered America today.

    Just okay....

    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.

    Should have been trimmed or expanded

    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.

    Totally pointless documentary

    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.

    No silver platter.

    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.

    Poignant but lacks depth..

    " In the darkness before the dawn In the swirling of this storm When I'm rolling with the punches and hope is gone Leave a light, a light on..."
    • Coldplay's Midnight
    '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.
