| User ReviewPatti CTotally engaging doc about Chelsea, NYC, and particularly about the Avenue School for wealthy students and the housing projects across the street from it. In moments, you're seduced by the kids on both sides of the divides and are rooting for them. It's a great study of money and the role it plays in the lives of the generation. Both sides struggle to understand what it means to have and have not and what they could or should do about it. |
| User ReviewOmar GThe filmmaker misses the real point by dragging the poor kids into the castles across the street. Instead, the missed opportunity was dragging the rich kids into the projects. |
