About This Movie

Almost Home (2019) is a raw take on youth homelessness, driven by Jessica Blank's direction. The tone is gritty, capturing the harshness of street life in LA. The pacing feels real, mirroring the uncertainty and urgency of the characters' lives. The performances, especially from the leads, are strikingly authentic, almost as if they’re pulling from personal experiences. The film’s distinctiveness lies in its unflinching portrayal of survival, friendship, and the search for belonging amidst chaos. It’s not about glamorizing the struggle; it just lays it bare, making you feel the weight of every decision these young women make. Practical effects keep it grounded, avoiding any sense of artificiality that could take you out of the moment.
