Movie Reviews

New York Daily News - 9/10 by Jami BernardIts simple, straightforward storytelling makes mincemeat of the idea that, gee, if these people just worked a little harder and got motivated, they, too, could get a piece of the American Dream.
Variety - 9/10 by Robert KoehlerThe balance between feeling and distance is never a contradiction here but, rather, the dynamic that makes this film an especially humanistic entry in the Maysles canon.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Dana StevensAn exemplary work of cinéma vérité that allows its subjects to speak for themselves, traffics neither in pity nor in political grandstanding.
New York Post - 8/10 by Lou LumenickDemonstrates that sometimes letting subjects and the facts speak for themselves can be quietly devastating.
TV Guide Magazine - 6/10 by Maitland McDonaghFroemke and Dickson's film opens a window onto rural poverty so dire it's almost inconceivable that it exists in 21st-century America.
User Review - 10/10 by StephenL.I cannot believe that in the United States we allow people to live in these conditions. It put into perspective how good I really have it. I wish I could do something for them. I would love to adopt one of the children and help them better themselves.
User Review - 10/10 by BenjyxI dont know what everyones problem with this was. Spoiler* the aliens reflected the time and if you thought they were ridiculous what about the melting faces and invisible paths that have graced over jone's films.
User Review - 10/10 by DawnB.I was really touched by this movie! It showed the strength of a black woman trying to raise her grand children. It made me sad and also angry with her children. Lalee made a choice to live in these conditions because that was all she saw but her children (15) of them should want better and not allow their mother to live in those conditions. From my understanding from the movie, her son was a drug dealer and most of her children worked and/or received government assistance. But, they couldn't help their mother and grand mother with meals, clothing, runnning water, bills and the daily neccessites of taking care of their children. If we would only work together, our live would be better! I pray she is doing well and has running water.. I also, pray that her children, grand children and great-grand children will ask God to break the generational curse on their family. I also, wonder what Granny, Red-Man and Main is doing. I pray they are still striving for the best that life has to offer them and not settling for any thing. I will watch this movie over and over again..
User Review - 10/10 by CarlaB.Does anyone know where I can purchase a copy of this movie? I am not able to find it anywhere! I am currently a college student doing research for an upcomming research conference and I would love to use this movie to help open up more eyes about the true problems within the United States!!

User Review - 10/10 by BarbaraM.when i first seen this movie back in 2001 i cried for Ms. Lalee to see how she and her family have to live.i wish it was some way i could show my kids this movie now that they are 16,13,12 so they could see just how bless they are.I sometimes wonder how she is doing.its sad how we help people everywhere around the world and we have people right here living like that even in 2008. Its so sad.
