A young man (Joey Dedio) clashes with a woman (Geneviève Bujold) who runs a shelter, as he tries to care for his makeshift family of homeless youths.

Peter Debruge

Miami Herald

Amounts to little more than a downbeat soap opera.

Rated: 1.5/4

Los Angeles Times

As maudlin and overly familiar as it is earnest.

Erin Clements

Time Out

As Downtown plods toward its Christmas Eve-set climax, the film's tendency to OD on melodrama detracts from its grittier moments.

Rated: 3/6

Evan Henerson

Los Angeles Daily News

[Director] Zielinski's attempts at serving up grunge and grittiness largely fall flat. Scenes of sex and drug use are typically accompanied by a swooning and intrusive soundtrack.

Rated: 2/4

L.A. Weekly

Clichd though it may be, this movie was clearly made with love.

John P. McCarthy

Boxoffice Magazine

We're asked to invest in too many characters; on the other hand, aside from Bujold, there's no one you want or need to know more about.

Rated: 2.5/5
