At once an investigation, a polemic and, in its final sequences, a tribute to human endurance. A remarkable film.
88
Portrait of men and a few women who stubbornly try to maintain some dignity in the face of personal disaster.
80
Designed neither to warm your heart nor shelter you in the comfort of liberal guilt, the movie does what so many style-conscious, "subjective" documentaries have long forgotten how to do. It shows you a world, and stays the hell out of it.
75
Engrossing and eye-opening in several respects and even, when you least expect it, humorous.
70
Remarkable film.
60
Complemented by its black-and-white photography and a moody DJ Shadow score, this is a gritty yet often tender look at society's margins.
50
Given the enormous praise, the film falls short.

This was a captivating film I had wanted to see for some time now. Even though I know the world is like this, I keep on with hope, optimism and blind faith that something can be done to ameliorate the human condition on a global scale. No one should have to live like this unless of course they choose to do so.
