I'm surprised this movie drew so few fans
given the popularity of "Streetwise."
I watched it for the second time the other night and found it better than I remembered. It's really, actually, in a class with the first film. Fascinating people share their experiences with Erin from the first film.
Make no mistake, this is heartbreaking stuff, again, much like the first film. We sense at the end, after survival and occasional triumphs, the past is coming back for Erin's family. We can only hope they are somehow moving on in love. See Rat's story on the Criterion extras for a bit more hopeful story.
If you liked the first film, you should defiantly see this, as I say, included with the first film in the Criterion Set.
