Apparently, home is where the desperation is, as this slow-moving tale tells in a slice of life background about people trying to rebuild broken lives, showcasing one young mother's case in particular. Heartfelt cliches ensue. Ends with a surprisingly touching note.

I think the realness makes this movie worth seeing. And the way the movie ends... It makes up for the lack of depth, and the pure stress watching the story unfold.

I am a Poots fan she was the reason for watching this film . Itâ(TM)s story is uninteresting slow and predictable. The characters are cardboard cut outs . I fast forwarded through half the movie hoping Poots would come to her senses or do something unpredictable. I am ashamed to say I wasted my time and actually watched this film to the end.

Under [de Fontenay's] microscope, [the characters] don't feel like real people lost so much as white American trash test subjects.

If only Vladimir de Fontenay's film could match the sheer expressive power of its actress.

But while the story's a little shaky, Poots is outstanding; and de Fontenay has a terrific eye for the details of a drifter's life.

Boasts interesting cinematography, an elegiac score but unfortunately, despite the flashes of interest, the film is more interested in misery than solid drama.

Rated: 2/5

The Upcoming

An interesting take on a family drama, Mobile Homes shows great promise but ultimately undoes itself by failing to answer the important questions it so often poses.

Rated: 3/5

Cinema Crazed

Mobile Homes is a lower budget drama that may look like nothing but as one watches it, it hits strong, it hits hard, and it leaves an emotional mark.

Rated: 4/5
