I like the reviewer that said "she must have a huge phone bill", very accurate. I caught it about 15mins in, and that's all I really saw, her on the phone asking if they had anywhere to stay. It was a bit like watching a film fishing, you see him get all his gear ready for 30 min, sit on a pier and not catch anything for 120mins. Probably a lot less emotive, but same amount of substance. My wife loves these types of films, I like anything that's a good story, whether it be homelessness, or space exploration, or crime based, doesn't matter, I like it all, but you must have a story to tell, an angle, a personality, unresolved issue with characters etc etc. And remember editing!...when there's a scene where the mother walks across an oval to find her daughter, we dont need to see her traverse the 'entire length' of the sports oval, it didn't build the drama, it was annoying, just an excuse which added to the length of the bloody thing. They defintely captured the boredom and repetitivness off being homeless, but if that's all you have, then make a documentary, there was no story here, just a homeless family living in their car.
