Near Penn Station, next to the Amtrak tracks, squatters have been living for years. Marc Singer goes underground to live with them, and films this "family." A dozen or so men and one woman talk about their lives: horrors of childhood, jail time, losing children, being coke-heads. They scavenge, they've built themselves sturdy one-room shacks; they have pets, cook, chat, argue, give each other haircuts. A bucket is their toilet. Leaky overhead pipes are a source of water for showers. They live in virtual darkness. During the filming, Amtrak gives a 30-day eviction notice.
Leave your thoughts about Dark Days.
| Baltimore SunChris KaltenbachPortrait of men and a few women who stubbornly try to maintain some dignity in the face of personal disaster. |
| Times (UK)Wendy IdeA portrait of the homeless community of "mole people" who lived in sections of disused underground tunnels in New York, this is a singularly powerful account of the lives of the dispossessed and desperate. |
| L.A. WeeklyElla TaylorDesigned 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. |
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames Sanforda gripping collection of vignettes that show a side of life most of us will hopefully never have to witness first-hand. |
| Time Out LondonTom HuddlestonAt once an investigation, a polemic and, in its final sequences, a tribute to human endurance. A remarkable film. |
| Low IQ CanadianMartin ScribbsAs a chronicle of midnight and dawn in the great human day, Dark Days ranks among the most moral of films. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Tim RobeyIt's distinguished by remarkable intimacy, with none of the arty distance or aesthetic pretension a veteran filmmaker might have imposed. Singer's subjects feel more like collaborators, an ensemble cast. |
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsThis is the world discovered and illuminated by gonzo documentarian Marc Singer, who spent a good part of two years living with and chronicling the lives of a half-dozen tunnel dwellers for his remarkable first film, Dark Days |
| Slant MagazineKalvin HenelyThe documentary enables its viewers to confront poverty on a human level by presenting its subjects, for the most part, like anyone else, living lives, despite their socioeconomic difference, relatable to our own. |
| New York Magazine/VulturePeter RainerIt's a near-great film, reminiscent of the early Frederick Wiseman movies like Welfare and Hospital that left you both aghast and exhilarated at what human beings are capable of. |
