Instead, it falls short with cringe-worthy dialogue, weird artistic choices, and an obvious religious agenda.
What Is ‘No Address’ About?
To the credit of everyone involved in this movie, its true that people experiencing homelessness are egregiously overlooked.

But, ultimately,No Addressnever properly addresses the issues it brings up.
This indie thriller sees two women on a journey through the desert, in search of belonging.
This issue extends to the performances,making some characters feel unbelievable.

The characters in the movie are not solely defined by the fact that they’re experiencing homelessness.
However, the effort to portray unhoused people honestly pretty much ends there.
However, every time we see an unhoused character, they’re rocking an extra three layers of clothing.
Some movies that explore faith are excellent.
These movies weren’t.
However,No Addressnever really gets into these issues.
Scripture is spray-painted around the encampment, and characters frequently turn to prayer when things get particularly hard.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with this.
Beyond its problematic implications,No Addressjust isn’t a good movie.
