No Address

We all know homelessness is a serious problem, especially when other countries we completely subsidize have free health care and no one on the streets. But this two dimensional, one note nonsense is not an appropriate project to take on the gravity and complex human issues homelessness brings up. Yes, the nimby crowd always gets upset when they see tent cities on the border of their gated neighborhoods, but sadly they have every reason to be. Oftentimes there are heavily self-medicated mentally ill individuals-sometimes violent-lurking in these unsanitary hovels. So what is a community to do? Stop sending money overseas to parasitic countries for one. One of the lesser Baldwins and Bev D'Angelo ain't gonna fix it!

I gathered my family to watch this movie, and we really enjoyed it. The plot was written very well, and all of the characters performance was good. Very emotional and relatable to everyone because it could happen to anyone at anytime. Homelessness is more than just the absence of a physical home; it is often a result of intersecting personal, societal, and systemic challenges that create long-term instability. We all need to come together and do our best to help and protect the homeless. I look forward to seeing a sequel in the near future, if it was ever to happen. Definitely worth the watch. 10/10 I highly recommend it!!

Movie reviews in some ways are like Rorschach responses reflecting the reviewers observational skills, capacity to integrate, and the nature of their mind and heart in reflection. When one critical review of 'No Address' seems to overlook the significance of military service of some principle characters, that means something. In this social climate today where many benevolent phenomenon are under attack, who wants to see a movie about the homeless. Who cares, right? 'Am I my brothers keeper?' some may ask. In my humble opinion, it is not the mission of 'No Address' to offer, or provide, solutions to the growing crisis. That is too much to ask. Rather, this film provides a breathtaking glimpse into sequences of events that bring some together at one point in time. The callousness of attitudes toward the homeless by some is tactfully shown, but not overdone. Nevertheless, survival instinct dictates, when you can't be with the ones you love, love the (safe) ones you're with. A silver lining of this timely, poignant, simply wonderful film is that individuals having a heart and caring about each other can matter a whole lot. It's a cinematic journey into an abyss where some light continues to shine, ultimately revealing what the world needs now is love, sweet love, no not just for some, but for everyone. This cake is baked just right. I believe 'No Address' is a beautiful 5 star movie for the ages.

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.

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.
