David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter 09/19/2011
There are few surprises in Mary Tobler and Savoca's script as it progresses, but the director has always shown skill at accessing the inner lives of women. Go to Full Review Manohla Dargis Los Angeles Times 06/24/2004
1/5
The film attempts to affect an air of dispassionate objectivity, but generally comes across as an exercise in exploitation. Go to Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post 05/28/2004
3/4
To most New Yorkers, the street addicts they encounter daily are nameless and faceless, and Union Square helps to humanize them. Go to Full Review Eric Monder Film Journal International 08/08/2004
An eye-opening view of people usually ignored or taken for granted. Go to Full Review John Patterson L.A. Weekly 06/23/2004
Without a well-delineated political or social framework, Union Square offers little that we didn't already know from, say, The Panic in Needle Park or Christiane F. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

09/01/2015 Stephen is an assclown !!! In all seriousness tho, Stephen spent about 9 months following around 7 homeless junkies with promises of payment (as little as it might have been depending on how sales went), and they went GREAT !!! but Stephen took no intiative and made no effort to hold up to his end of the deal. This film was poorly organized and might not even had ever been seen by others if it wasn't for Lisa who i dont believe gets enough credit tho I know she deserves it. I have made several attempts at contacting Stephen thru the movies actual HOME sight (www.unionsquarethemovie.com) but he will not return my messages and has proven himself to be a greedy exploiting scumbag !!! My name is Mike Stealth aka Stealth of the L.E.S. and 1 of 7 that was taken advantage of by Stephen for this horrible film that has nothing to offer any one else. Thank you for reading this review .. if anyone has knowledge of Stephens whereabouts feel free to send me a message at mstealth81@yahoo.com .. please and thanks it is for a good cause ... See more 03/19/2013 sad but powerful doc See more 03/03/2008 This was so true to life, realist, haunting and in your face. People scared of the reality of drugs or who don't want to be confronted with it should not watch this.
