I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Para empezar, no sabes lo que te quiere contar la película hasta que lleva mucho tiempo transcurrido. Resulta que la idea es muy buena. Pero empieza a irse el guion por tantos sitios que no sirven para nada, que te aburres y nunca llega a la idea principal. Para luego no saber cerrarla.Es muy larga, no sé en qué pensaba el director. Los actores, todos están insoportables. No consigo empatizar con ninguno. Seguro que Richard eligió su personaje, él tiene una fundación para los sin techo.La fotografía está bastante bien. Es bonita, pero debería ser más fría en algunos momentos.El director es muy malo. Si hace una película así, es que es muy malo. Si no se da cuenta de que se ha perdido mucho. Los planos son simples y en algunos momentos hasta malos. No pierdas el tiempo To begin with, you do not know what the movie wants to tell you until it has been a long time. It turns out that the idea is very good. But the script begins to go by so many sites that are useless, that you get bored and never comes to the main idea. Then do not know how to close it.It's very long, I do not know what the director thought. The actors, they are all unbearable. I can not empathize with anyone. Surely Richard chose his character, he has a foundation for the homeless.The photography is pretty good. It's pretty, but it should be colder at times.The director is very bad. If he makes a movie like that, it's very bad. If you do not realize that you have lost a lot. The plans are simple and sometimes even bad.Do not waste your time

Too many threads, no empathetic characters, crappy edits and a non-ending. A massive waste of talent and 2 hours of my time. Allegory? Even allegory needs coherence and this film had no cohesiveness whatsoever.

Good acting by a few, but a terrible movie. Don't waste your time. Seriously.
