Critic Reviews

Jessica Winter

Utterly necessary film. Read full review

V. A. Musetto

In disturbing detail, we see these aimless kids, who often appear to be 10 years old - or younger! - as they beg for money and food, sniff glue, sleep under bridges in cardboard boxes and fight off predators. Read full review

A.O. Scott

The blithe cruelties of outdoor living mount up, but the filmmakers refuse to exaggerate or sensationalize their material. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

A little commentary would have helped put the tragedy of the Hillbrow Kids into sharper perspective. Read full review
