Topside Review: A Harrowing Portrayal of Homelessness

A homeless drug addict and her five-year-old daughter struggle to find shelter after fleeing an underground encampment. Topside is a harrowing portrayal of poverty and destitution. The majority of the film is seen from the perspective of an innocent child. She's taken from one dangerous situation to another. Carried by a desperate mother whose fear of authorities puts them both at risk of exploitation. Topside is tremendously upsetting. My heart ached the entire time.
