Movie Reviews

Slant Magazine - 10/10 by Ed GonzalezEdet Belzberg's heart-breaking documentary transcends exploit by subtly indicting the homeless plight of Romanian youth on Ceausescu's ignorant legacy.
Greg's Previews at Yahoo! Movies - 10/10 by Greg Dean SchmitzIf you have a stomach for harrowing, depressing true tales of man's inhumanity to man, Children Underground is a fantastic document of a nation's priorities gone wild.
Variety - 9/10 by Robert KoehlerBelzberg's unsparing camera sometimes portrays a level of cruelty that tests viewers' tolerance, but her fearless aesthetic is also a measure of the film's brilliant indictment of any society that can allow its most vulnerable to slip into oblivion.
New York Daily News - 9/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanHomelessness is all too familiar to many inhabitants of the world's wealthiest cities, but rarely has the situation seemed so hopeless, or its victims so desperate.
New York Magazine (Vulture) - 9/10 by Peter RainerBelzberg doesn't intervene during the moments of violence, believing that the film can force social change only by showing the worst. If she is correct, then this film should move mountains.
Village Voice - 9/10 by Ed ParkA horror story, told with Dickensian compassion, permeating outrage, and little hope.
Newsday - 8/10 by Jan StuartA heartrending act of courage in the guise of a documentary film.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Stephen HoldenA singularly depressing film. In the face of such unrelieved, grinding poverty, hope fades.
Film Threat - 6/10 by Ron WellsI think the most important aspect here is that this subject is at least being addressed.
User Review - 10/10 by butch hThis intimate documentary follows five homeless children in Romania, where the collapse of communism has led to a life on the street for 20,000 children. From a 16-year-old girl who runs her gang with a mixture of brutality and compassion, to a small, intelligent, and remarkably articulate 12-year-old boy, these children seem at first feral and frightening--yet over the course of the movie their loneliness, desperation, and glimpses of hope will transform how you perceive them. Make no mistake: this is difficult watching. As Children Underground explores the meager state resources to support these children and follows some of the children back to their difficult families, the scope of the problem becomes larger and more irresolvable. But this documentary offers an unblinking and deeply compassionate insight into the extremes of human existence; you will not forget it easily.
