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.

    Potential that never really comes to fruition

    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.

    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.

    So many good parts but ultimately should have been better

    Homelessness is such a serious problem in our country that I got very excited to see an Oscar nominated documentary on the subject. We live in a country where the media sees more value in billionaires going to space than helping out the homeless. The issue here is the film just needed to be more focused.

    The start of the film begins as a "humans of New York" style interviews of homeless people. The stories are gripping and powerful , and the film abandons this. Then we get a day in the life of someone.. and the film abandons this idea pretty quickly. It touches very briefly on the political aspect of the issue but doesn't really go into much depth. All of these pieces could have been so fascinating but none are explored to any real satisfaction.

    I think it's an interesting watch but maybe should be a mini series or longer movie.

    A 40 minute trailer for nothing

    This a very serious topic that I was very happy to see someone made a documentary on. However, it was a really terrible "film." It's like someone got a drone and a right to some good music, and made a 40 minute trailer/montage.

    It was so disjointed with zero depth. They even had some great stories in front of them, but didn't follow any of them in any coherent way. What's worse, there was zero exploration of the causes or what can be done.

    It was like a trailer for a more in depth documentary series where they dive into the situation, but there isn't a series. It's just this. I genuinely don't know if this helps or hurts the problem of homelessness.

    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.
