Kill the Poor Ratings & Reviews
AV Club
Tasha Robinson
In spite of its oddities, [Kill the Poor] pulls off a memorable story.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Can utopian ideals survive such a mugging by reality?
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Nowhere near as provocative as its title might imply.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Alan Taylor's film will resonate with any New Yorker who's played real-estate roulette in Fun City.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
KILL the Poor is sort of a poor man's Rent - - minus the music and the AIDS - - and much blander than the title would have you expect.
New York Times
Nathan Lee
This lukewarm riff on gentrification and its discontents resurrects the low life and tough times of Alphabet City in the early 1980's.
Newsday
John Anderson
A movie with more character than narrative, it's a showcase for the actors, but the storyline could have used some urban renewal.
Village Voice
Benjamin Strong
Shot on a modest DV budget, Kill the Poor isn't pretty, but it's a balanced look at the dirty politics of gentrification.
