“The understated quality of this movie might be why it hasnu0026#39;t received better reviews. I donu0026#39;t think it means to be a treatise on homelessness or a precise rendition of the conditions thereof (an assumption Iu0026#39;ve seen some high profile critics make). Thatu0026#39;s a fate that befalls one of the characters and her two children, part of an ensemble whose interlinked stories together make a case for empathy and impulsive altruism being among the most admirable aspects of human nature.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHomelessness is one thematic layer to a story that investigates kindness as the social glue that matters most and is possibly also the most underrated of dispositions or inclinations, often being seen as weak or oversensitive. Personally, I found it a lovely film, quite moving in places with its acknowledgment that, without kindness and the generosity of strangers, society would fall apart.”
