American Street Kid (2016)
A great message lost by 90 mins of Michael Leoni patting himself on the back

This film started out as a fantastic story, highlighting a problem most don't know about in the US.
But the last 90 minutes of the documentary felt like Michael Leoni continually putting himself up on a pedestal and talking about how much he cares, and how he wish he could do more. Completely took away from the core message of the film and I left it disappointed that we lost the narrative.
The end goal here is what? To feel sorry for Michael because he cares so much, but can't do all he'd like to do to help? Really felt a bit cringy watching Michael continue to focus on himself - he shouldn't have been the main character in this story. But the last half of this film was only about him.
