Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Heaven Knows What feels like an authentic, sometimes painfully accurate portrait of life in New York City as experienced by the homeless, ever-hustling teenagers.

rotten:

Holmes has a face that reveals everything and nothing. Besides being strikingly photogenic, she's a natural.

fresh:
A striking portrait of addiction that doesn't say anything new - drugs are bad, kids - but it leaves a lasting and chilling impression.
