Synopsis

On the streets of New York, the homeless Harley is asked by fellow heroin user Ilya to prove her love for him by slitting her wrists. While on heroin, she agrees and ends up in hospital. Upon her release from the hospital, she confronts her addiction, homelessness, and her fractured relationships.

Our take

Prior to their breakout 2017 hit Good Time, The Safdie Brothers bravely turned their lens—fusing fiction and non-fiction filmmaking—upon a homeless couple tethered by addiction and love. A caustic yet frighteningly sincere relationship plays out as a nightmare set in the streets of New York City.
