‘Tow’ Review: Rose Byrne Triumphs In Incredible True Story Of Unhoused Woman’s Epic Battle With Car Towing Company – Tribeca Festival
A review of 'Tow' which tells the incredible story of a homeless woman who fights the system to get her towed car back. Rose Byrne is great in lead.
Now, seven and a half years later her story has world premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival Saturday night as a major motion picture starring Rose Byrne and and a supportining cast including two Oscar winners, and that homeless woman named Amanda Ogle is an Executive Producer. Director Stephanie Laing(with a stirring feature film debut) and her screenwriters Jonathan Keasey and Brant Noivin have crafted all of this into an effective populist entertainment that not only puts a human face on the plight of the unhoused in our society, but demonstrates the cold hearted facts of those unfortunate enough to have lost everything, well, except a beat up old car they have to fight to get back. When her car is taken away, and she literally has nothing but a roll-on suitcase she grabs from the trunk not being able to pay the initial fee to the tow company, she finally has to find shelter at a church which takes in unhoused women and is run by the super strict Barb (a terrific Octavia Spencer).
