Coffee & Cabbage (2017) User Reviews

Emotional and real

[directortim2012 · 9/10 · 23 April 2020]

Usually, a film tends to lean more one way or another. It's mainstream and phony (but maybe cute and sweet) or it's indie and real, but sometimes so dark you want to cry the whole way. This movie creates a more interesting balance. It is raw, emotional and affecting. But it also has real heart and touches of humor. The best of both worlds! I cared about the characters and was involved throughout. I love when that happens. :)

A solid indie film

[craigahrens · 9/10 · 23 April 2020]

What a nice hidden treat in a a sea of indie films! A terrific story! Theses fine storytellers did a wonderful job depicting what it is like to be homeless in LA while maintaining one's dignity. I thought the acting was spot on! Bravo the casting department! Rasheed Stephens' acting really stood out! But don't get me wrong, I thought the other actors were good too. I enjoyed the story. I found the movie moved along at a very comfortable pace. A thumbs up from me.

A nice indie gem.

Coffee & Cabbage was a nice indie gem. The storyline of a man who's homeless living out of his car while searching for a job and dealing with two girlfriends certainly made for a unique film. Director Josh Mitchell did a great job pulling the best performances out of his actors. Lead actor Rasheed Stephens held his own and the actors who played the homeless men were really funny. The music, editing, and camera work were on point.

Strong story of functioning homeless

[thejhorton · 22 April 2020]

An offbeat tale of a man living in his car in los angeles and trying to juggle two girlfriends. It's an interesting premise. Because epsecially in LA there's a huge population of 'functioning' homeless. People that have jobs, live semi-ordinary lives but have no place of residence. The movie was both charming and sad.

An inspirational film

[abuckeye-93632 · 8/10 · 13 June 2020]

Coffee and Cabbage is about a homeless man that fights to overcome his circumstances in hopes of a better life. There are a bunch of misfit characters that will keep you interested.

Unique Indie Film with Strong Performances

[JGReviews · 9/10 · 23 April 2020]

Coffee & Cabbage is a very interesting and unique indie film about the lives of some homeless individuals in Los Angeles. I think this may be the first movie I've seen from the perspective of modern day homeless people, and I applaud the filmmakers for telling a story about people who are increasingly brushed aside by society today. Even just seeing a film about two homeless people dating is more humanizing that I'm used to seeing in most tv/film. Rasheed Stephens gives a high quality performance in this film and is able to elevate the film with his acting. Coffee & Cabbage is different from many films I've seen, which I appreciated, and at a brisk running time of an hour and 18 minutes, it's definitely worth your time to check out.

Great indie gem

[ruddycarpio · 10/10 · 26 April 2020]

Coffee & Cabbage is a great indie gem that shines in some relevant social issues of today, as it is the homeless community and makes a good job in humanising them.

Brilliant balancing act of realism and entertainment

[Anmer93 · 9/10 · 26 April 2020]

A brilliant balancing act of realism and entertainment. Performances here are really something, especially by the lead. We'll be seeing him very soon in bigger productions I have no doubt. Subtlety and emotion is the key here and a very tricky thing to get right.

Interesting Setup

[wjaywill · 8/10 · 4 May 2020]

Definitely an original setup and interesting story. I thought the characters were compelling. Solid acting all around.
