| TheLoop21.comKam WilliamsNew York City as a disturbing dystopia where it's hard out there not just for a pimp, but for an African scam artist, too! |
| Film School RejectsRobert LevinIn the grand neo-realist tradition, the film offers a naturalistic, slow burn rendition of the hassles, heartaches and rewards of the salesman's hand-to-mouth existence. |
| BET.comClay CaneMaybe if you aren't familiar with the world 'Prince of Broadway' depicts then this might seem 'real,' but in truth, it was pushed. Furthermore, I haven't heard the n-word used so much since 'Roots.' |
| San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisDirector Sean Baker's fascinating, impossible-to-categorize film relies on handheld cameras, improvised dialogue, jump cuts and a very photogenic arena, the city's wholesale fashion district. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsLouis ProyectBrilliant neorealist, improvisatory film using non-professionals to tell a story about a street hustler and the baby he is forced to look after. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe movie is sharp, charismatic and so light on its feet we never know which way it will turn. |
| Film ThreatEric CamposPerhaps the shiniest indie gem I've found this year so far. |
| User ReviewRiyad FFor parents hoping their children might begin a Hollywood career early, a close viewing of this movie is recommended. Watching Prince react to the world and people around him is such a delight. This movie is hilarious and heart-warming, please watch it. |
| User ReviewCindi LEssential viewing for NYC residents or visitors. A rich story of honor (and gender perspectives sans stereotype) using characters outside the usual Hollywood hegemony. |
| User ReviewMatthew LWatched this for the second time with Joe at BIFF. First time was for the BIFF selection committee... where I gave it a strong recommendation... and was thrilled to see it accepted to the festival. |
