mark g With Downey and Foxx, should have been better. But the story is not cohesive and very disjointed. Found myself checking clock a lot. Am aware that dealing with sycizophrinic individuals is far from uniform, but for the sake of entertainment, edit better. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review Bruce K Fast forward through all Steve Lopez's (Robert Downey Jr.) interactions with his baby momma, Mary (Catherine Kreener). Also fast forward through Steve's monologue and you will enjoy this movie. Wish the soundtrack had a better selection of classical music, but won't judge it too hard on that. Homeless scenes in LA are exaggerated and couldn't care less about the LA Times crew. As an aside: I had seen this movie around release date, didn't realize it until half way through rewatching it a decade later. Also makes me want to volunteer at my local soup kitchen and gives me faith in humanity. Even though that doesn't accurately reflect the homeless situation in LA. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review grah a Here's a deeply emotional film about the real pandemic affecting humanity right now. The problem being emotional imbalance (mental health) problems. To see the amount of negative, hyper critical comments and reviews highlights the level of unconsciousness in humanity right now. Here in lies the issue facing humanity. The huge lack of real empathy, compassion and understanding of human suffering that's going on, all around you everyday. Perhaps, negative reviews are coming from people who constantly ignore of even look down on homelessness. Meanwhile, people thrive for more more more and become more disconnected from reality surrounding them. With love.... Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/13/24 Full Review Dan R True story perfectly told in a way that captures you, you almost feel emotionally attached. This movie has a lot of heart. A big recommendation. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review Allen H Beautifully acted and uncommonly told true tale. The lack of narrative focus that is criticized helps this get under the skin. Not neatly packaged as many need. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/06/23 Full Review Daniel G If it weren't for some distractions that added little to the plot or to the description of the protagonists (we get it that Steven Lopez has a boring home life, so needs to chase raccoons), it would be a perfect balance of showing the importance or art to the lives of those who've somehow given up on normal life or who have really troubling mental issues Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/28/22 Full Review Read all reviews
