Housing instability for working families is insidious, tragic, and fixable. I hope that Evelyn’s story helps people understand all of this. #books #homelessness #LosAngeles

Thank you @mattzollerseitz for this very thoughtful piece, which like the best criticism reaches far beyond the film you are describing. Means a lot that Rob moved you to write this.
Here's a movie you should know about: Rob Peace, a biography of a brilliant but troubled young scientist trying to get his dad out of prison. Written & directed by (and costarring) Chiwetel Ejiofor. Jay Will, who plays the title character, is incredible.
