Fariha Roisin Shadow and Act The devastation of watching these kids is realizing how much they have to give. Their lives are as valuable as mine, or yours, yet due to circumstances, they are given little-to-zero agency over the outcome. Sep 15, 2022 Full Review Keith Uhlich AV Club Whenever Roque, Kasey, and Anthony are center stage ... The Homestretch is heartrending. Rated: B Nov 20, 2014 Full Review Ben Sachs Chicago Reader The Homestretch, the latest social-issue documentary from Kartemquin Films, succeeds surprisingly well in having its cake and eating it too. Nov 6, 2014 Full Review Matt Pais RedEye Takes a small bite and leaves too much on the table. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 13, 2014 Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies As affecting as these teenagers' stories in The Homestretch are, the accounts of their advocates are equally inspiring. Rated: 3/4 Sep 12, 2014 Full Review Christopher Campbell Nonfics I barely made it through the homestretch of 'The Homestretch,' a disappointingly prosaic doc about homeless youths represented in a triptych of tedious narratives.
