Every night while the city sleeps, Ahmad, a former Pakistani rock star turned immigrant, drags his heavy cart along the streets of New York.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Ahmad's concerns -- his sadness and his striving -- become universal. Though his early-morning riser's world is gray and threaded with melancholy, it becomes, in the end, a place we recognize.

fresh:
Free of contrived melodrama and phony suspense, it ennobles the hard work by which its hero earns his daily bread.
– Roger Ebert,

fresh:
Shot in three weeks, Man Push Cart does a fine job of capturing the bitter flavor of Ahmad's life.
– Robert Denerstein,

fresh:
Michael Simmond's cinematography, especially in scenes of Ahmad muscling his way amid evening traffic and early-morning delivery trucks, is wonderfully true to the moods of a city that never sleeps and seldom nods at the hard work going on before it.
– Lisa Kennedy,
Denver Post,

rotten:
The makers of Man Push Cart seem so dedicated to making a film that defies Hollywood conventions that the finished product lacks enough entertainment value to justify price of admission.
