Movie Reviews

Parallax View - 10/10 by Sean AxmakerIt's a cinematic blast of anger and outrage and exasperation sprung from the immediacy of the depression.
Chicago Reader - 10/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumThe underrated William A. Wellman made many neglected classics during the Depression, and this 1933 feature is one of the very best.
Goatdog's Movies - 7/10 by Michael W. Phillips, Jr.Don't let the giddy Jazz Age prologue or the deliriously happy ending fool you: this is one of the bleakest films from the 1930s that I've ever seen.
CinePassion - 6/10 by Fernando F. CroceNo mere Dear-Mr.-Roosevelt pamphlet, but a proto-Neorealist howl
User Review - 10/10 by Curtis RBefore Gorcey, Halop, Dean, and Dillon there was Darro and this is one of his best. Grittingly realistic depiction of the Depression Era seen through the eyes of three teenagers forced to become train hobos to find work. Darro provides some of his comedic charm in this but for the most part this movie is serious. Look for cameo by Sterling(Winnie the Pooh)Holloway as one of the lost youths who bears a remarkable resemblance to Huntz Hall.
User Review - 10/10 by Elijah DDuring the Depression, two teen boys leave home to search for work and meet other young adults in similar predicaments. Typical Pre-Code era film with a stinging societal slant; blaming the issues of crime as a problem that rests in all of our hands. One of the best movies I've watched in a long while.
User Review - 10/10 by Daniel KA masterpiece and one of the essential American films of the 1930s. It's a surprisingly grim proto-neorealist look at poverty and the great depression.
User Review - 10/10 by Mark SLots of energy from the cast of this terrific depression era flick
User Review - 8/10 by Scott SGreat look at what childhood was like during the depression as it follows a pack of kids traveling across country. All the leads are damn fine, and it was fun to see Stering (Voice of Pooh) Holloway in a bit part.
User Review - 8/10 by Justin MPoor kids down on their luck leave home, ride the rails, start riots, lose limbs, panhandle, rob a theatre, and everything works out in the end. Ah pre-code how I love thee.
