THE VERY INNER CITY
Today's movie is the small scale
a "show don't tell" film about two kids, brother and sister, who make a living in the "iron triangle" of New York City. This is an area of concentrated body shops. Only in New York, where entire neighborhoods are devoted to one specialty.
Here, in addition to the cars, is the specialty of living on life's edge.
This film is beautifully done and is very accessible without a lot of drama. You can get the "message" without even trying for it.
These charming kids are making a life. Oddly, or not, there is a lot of joy in this movie.
I liked it a lot and will give it a 3 out of Netflix5.
