Audience Member The talented cast includes John Billingsley and Max Perlich. This bleak but beautiful and mesmerizing story is very important and very inspiring. I couldn't recommend it highly enough. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Available via Netflix, this eye-opening view of teenage runaways is a real find. Directed with a solemn gloss by Glenn Klinker, he doesn't allow the material to turn heavy-handed and gives his two leads a chance to truly shine. Also watch for some recognizable faces throughout, including a warm-hearted turn from Tom Sizemore. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a nicely done little gritty and grim indie concerning the lives of kids living on the streets. It's also not the least bit original. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member i can't believe how powerful and sad tis movie is! is even better than gardens of the night Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member As the director, I truly love this film and the eye opening experience it offers to Child Prostitution Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
