Featured review
A compassionate -and- stylish look into an only worsening problem.
As lack of, and, declining access to mental-health care and social/housing and programs due to current pandemic(s), the issue of the street-kid, while they may have become less visible, certainly has gotten no better.
The current pandemic (not to mention the ongoing fentanyl one) have shifted focus and goals of the current programs and they have either been reduced or completely decimated.
Sadly, like at the end, they talk of the kids who died between post-production of this and release, kids on the streets are dropping in record numbers due to unreliable drug sources and just overall compassion being down to the point of non-existant.
I love Spheeris, and highly recommend this, or better yet, Suburbia : the ultimate fictional look into too real problems. Both that and this film still are incredibly relevant and don't feel any less watchable due to the movement of pop-culture. The names of the styles have changed ; the faces and the kids are still the same.
