"Unless we’ve been homeless ourselves at some point, work for the Night Ministry or National Runaway Safeline, or in schools where the problem becomes entirely more evident, teenage homelessness often goes unnoticed. But “The Homestretch” changes that. The directors of the film, Anne de Mare and Kirsten Kelly, give visibility to an overwhelmingly invisible population, fixing the camera’s gaze on homeless youth, three teenagers, in particular–Kasey, Anthony, and Roque–each unique in their struggle, but common in their overall dilemma." - Newcity, Best of Chicago
