Many thanks to Robert Craig Films for providing a sample of the product for this review. My opinions are 100% my own.
Homelessness can happen to anyone, but together, we can make a difference.
Inspired by true events, NO ADDRESS follows the harrowing journey of Lauren, a young woman pushed onto the streets and forced to survive against all odds. Alongside a makeshift family of outcasts—each with their own haunting story of struggle and loss—Lauren discovers that home is not just a place, but the people who refuse to let you fall.
Featuring powerhouse performances from Lucas Jade Zumann, (20th Century Women, Anne with an E, Chicago Fire), Beverly D’Angelo (National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Entourage, Vegas Vacation), Isabella Ferreira (Crush, Love Victor, Orange is the New Black), William Baldwin (Gossip Girl, Parenthood, Forgetting Sarah Marshall), Xander Berkeley (Terminator 2: Judgment Day, The Walking Dead, 24), Ty Pennington (Extreme Home Makeover: Home Edition, Trading Spaces), Kristanna Loken (Terminator 3, Boy Meets World), Patricia Velasquez (The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, Arrested Development) and GRAMMY Award-Winning Singer/Songwriter & actress, Ashanti (Coach Carter, John Tucker Must Die), NO ADDRESS s is a raw and unflinching look at the dark realities of homelessness.

MEET THE CHARACTERS
Jimmy: A compassionate teenager who escapes an abusive home, finding kinship on the streets.
Lauren: Recently aged out of foster care, Lauren discovers her belongings discarded and nowhere to call home.
Harris: A talented painter and war-scarred veteran, grappling with battlefield memories while searching for peace.
Violet: A former veteran haunted by addiction, struggling to reclaim her sense of self.
Dora: Once a celebrated actress, Dora now battles memory loss and finds herself forgotten by society.
Robert: A businessman driven to extremes by financial ruin, organizing efforts to remove the street family for a redevelopment project.
Gabrielle: A committed advocate tirelessly working to support those experiencing homelessness and fighting for their dignity.
The movie No Address is so important for many reasons. Personally, our family has been homeless twice. The first time was because the owners of the house we were renting were not paying their mortgage, the second time because my husband fell at work and was injured so he could not work anymore, and in between when workman's comp ended and disability started up we had run through all of our savings and ended up homeless for 18 months. You don't always have to have a mental issue, drug addiction, or alcohol problem before homelessness can happen to you.
I find that many people are really just a paycheck away from being homeless. The need in our own area alone is large. There is not enough low-income housing available for those who need it. Right now we are renting after being homeless for 18 months. We have been in our rental for 8 years and it just sold to someone from the city who wants to gut it and I am sure raise the price much higher than most in our area can afford.
You may ask what happens to us. Well, the cold fact is we are scared to death because there is no housing available for the amount we have coming in, and even with outside help they want the rent to be lower than what is available in our area and nearby areas. There needs to be change not only for support for those with problems but for those who live on fixed incomes and can not afford the rent that apartments and houses currently have.
No Address really hit upon many aspects of why people become homeless and didn't end with everyone having a great outcome after all was said and done, but it did give hope that things can change and get better. People just need to work together to make sure change happens so that everyone has access to a home to call their own.
What No Address did not show was how hard it is to get housing when you have little, or no income and you are faced with being homeless much less the credit rating most landlords ask for and want before they will approve you even if you make enough for the rent.
It did not show how much these agencies that help get you into housing allow for housing and how much higher the market is making it almost impossible to find housing at the amount they allow. It did not show the frustration of finally getting help to find out you can't find housing within the price of the help given. What is needed countrywide is more low-income housing.
This movie was a start. Hope to see more movies made about this topic but delve more into the complexities of the process. Until then lets work together to make the world a better place for everyone.

Many thanks to I Am Living Proof the Movie for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.
I Am Living Proof is a compelling and intimate look into the lives of three individuals who face an extraordinary life-altering event.
Bri, once a promising student, finds her academic dreams derailed by an illness that’s deteriorating her body. For seven years, she’s caught in a cycle of failed medical treatments and excruciating pain, pushing her toward assisted suicide.
Steve’s life spirals out of control after a workplace accident leaves him dependent on opioids. Jobless and desperate, he attempts to end it all with an overdose.
Mary, a mother of five, faces debilitating pain from a spinal injury that leaves her unable to care for her children until a vivid dream sparks an unexpected turning point.
Unbeknownst to them, their paths are about to intersect with Mario Murillo, a traveling preacher who’s spent his life sharing God’s love and healing power when his old-school-style tent revival happens to be in town. This chance encounter challenges their beliefs and offers a glimmer of hope in their darkest hours.
I Am Living Proof chronicles their transformative experiences as we together meet the real God of miracles.
In the summer of 2022, thousands gathered under a revival tent in Colorado Springs as churches across the community joined forces to host renowned evangelist Mario Murillo. Among the countless testimonies of healing that emerged, three extraordinary stories from local residents captured the attention of director Bob Maddux and producer Shane Gilbert. These compelling accounts of transformation each uniquely powerful - demanded to be shared with a broader audience, leading to the creation of this groundbreaking documentary.
Check out the trailer for I Am Living Proof below.
Watch this powerful documentary in theaters starting March 9th!
Check back here after 3/5/2025 for my review.
