Although the situation feels slightly contrived... the script is bang on.

Reviews for Where God Left His Shoes
1 - 8 (sorted by date)
With a more organic and imaginative screenplay, Where God Left His Shoes could have been much more emotionally resonating and powerful.

Where God Left His Shoes is a holiday miracle - a gritty tale about homelessness that's neither sappy nor sentimental
12/23/08
Writer-director Salvatore Stabile keeps his affecting story hurtling forward with such grit and integrity it's easy to forgive its loaded setup and occasional lapses in detail and logic.
12/19/08
Top CriticThe acting, the on-the-fly atmosphere (the film was shot quickly), and Leguizamo’s increasingly urgent hustle are deeply evocative, but parts of the movie are almost too painful to endure.
12/15/08
Top CriticThis film needs more than God’s Nikes to resonate with an already economically downtrodden filmgoing populace.
12/10/08
Stabile, a Brooklyn native with a resume in TV production, knows how to line up a permit and scout out perfect South Brooklyn Italian manors and melancholic intersections. He gets interesting scenes, too.
12/10/08
Top CriticWriter-director Salvatore Stabile has a good eye for the details of hard-luck ordinariness, and he sketches believable family bonds with a minimum of flourish.
