The 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.

Reviews for Where God Left His Shoes
1 - 9 (sorted by critic A-Z)
Top CriticWriter-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 CriticWith a more organic and imaginative screenplay, Where God Left His Shoes could have been much more emotionally resonating and powerful.
01/31/09
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.
12/10/08
Top CriticThis film needs more than God’s Nikes to resonate with an already economically downtrodden filmgoing populace.
12/10/08
Where God Left His Shoes is a holiday miracle - a gritty tale about homelessness that's neither sappy nor sentimental
12/23/08
Although the situation feels slightly contrived... the script is bang on.
07/04/09
you won't get much out of Where God Left His Shoes other than an appreciation of the fact that you have a home for the holidays.
