      Diane Holloway Austin American-Statesman The Children of Times Square has the seedy, gritty look of reality and some excellent performances, but the plot is simplistic. To make matters worse, the storyline Is telegraphed from scene to scene, leaving little to the imagination. Sep 28, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
