Nik F It really does capture the sounds and feel of nighttime in the French Quarter. If only there were smell-o-vision to capture the aromas (good and not so good) of the neighborhood. The youngest boy, William, is absolutely charming. The glimpses into the bars and burlesque shows were fun. It does capture the way music permeates every corner of New Orleans — especially the amazing street musicians. There really wasn’t a plot to it — just the impressions the boys had as they wandered the French Quarter for an entire night after missing the last ferry home. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/25 Full Review Audience Member good documentary made me wanna go to new Orleans Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Part documentary and part guided narrative documentary - this movie explores both the curiosity of youth and the cultural uniqueness that is New Orleans after hours. Slowly paced and almost poetic visually, it is an interesting experimental film that really defies any genre. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Having lived in New Orleans for two years added to my appreciation of this special documentary about three brothers. Viewers with little New Orleans background will lose many of the local references. This film tips its hat to the classic "Stand By Me," switching venues from Oregon to New Orleans. Instead of four friends who embark on an adventure, three brothers and their dog Buttercup cross the ferry from Algiers to the Crescent City and explore the bitter and the sweet of New Orleans by night. The fact that these are untrained actors makes the film with a loose plot all the more amazing. While not for everyone, this film's unusual aspects makes it particularly memorable Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Seen at Hot Docs 2012 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A frequently wonderful mess.
