"Parked" collapses into sentimentality that not even an actor of Mr. Meaney's dignity and restraint can redeem from mawkishness.

Rated: 2/5

Variety

This engaging character study functions best as a two-hander: The male leads build a wholly believable, offbeat co-dependency, while their interactions with others tend toward the more generic.

[An] elegant, engaging meditation on displacement and the modern man.

CineVue

What could have been a Shane Meadows-esque, quirky tale of the human spirit and its ability to triumph against adversity ultimately reveals itself to be a flat, by-the-numbers drama.

All of the actors put in perfectly acceptable performances but none can do much about the brittle plot-fodder stereotypes they are forced to work with.

Rated: 2/5

Long Island Press

Infused with the visceral impact of raw truth connected to the homeless insider point of view looking out at a callous world. But when it comes to the director's outside looking in perspective, there's a second hand sense of little felt or endured.

This movie made tears come out of my eyes. It mirrored so many of my own life traumas, humiliations, failures and rejections. I felt every piece of it from my own experiences. Life for some people can become a constant stream of humiliations and failures. This film lays it bare without sugar coating what life if like for such people. Such a great film if you want to know what it is like to have life kick you in the guts. Vert well acted. No BS. It is like it would be in that situation. I have seen all of the other critics reviews and I think that these people have never experienced what it is like to live like this. This film perfectly represents it. The critics have all lived a life of luxury by comparison and do not know how well this film portrays life on skid row.
