    It's an undeniably small yet almost indefinable film, warmhearted and bittersweet, laced with both humor and tough emotions. Plus it has a kind of bicoastal appeal.

    This is a good example of a mock-u-mentary gone good. With little resources, a good sense of space and character this little film can and does get across. It never looses rhythm even if most of the acting is really improvisational. A veritable try a documenting the life of hustlers in Broadway, turns out to be of interest.… Expand
