Bahrani's sophomore effort is a tough, gritty, and poetic look at the life of an orphaned street urchin (memorably played by non-actor Polanco), as he ekes out a life in the "iron triangle" junkyard of New York along with his sister. Bahrani and his cinematographer, Michael Simmonds, create a harsh beauty in the ordinary, and draw emotion from everyday situations. Their locale is unique, and style impeccably suited to the material. What prevents the movie from attaining greatness, however, is a lack of plotting. Certainly, there have been great American films about the day to day rigors of ordinary life (Kelly Reichardt's Wendy & Lucy being a prime example). But those films had profoundly emotional payoffs. "Chop Shop" never really builds to anything. Still, its a strong piece of work, and it will be interesting to see how Bahrani grows as a filmmaker.

This film has been sitting in my Instant Queue forever, probably ever since I saw Bahrani's other excellent film, Goodbye Solo. But I could never bring myself to watch it; perhaps I thought it might be too depressing. The amazing thing about Chop Shop is that it was made without professional actors. But rather than handicapping the film, Bahrani's carefully constructed masterpiece is enhanced by the realism and naturalism the actual inhabitants of the area bring to the movie. This is not a happy movie, especially considering the sad reality of American poverty. But it strangely is not depressing either. It is just very real.

Incredibly, this time, the movie summary is accurate and very good. A terrific movie with great acting. A must see.

Director/co-writer Ramin Bahrani ("Man Push Cart") gives a candid window into America's impoverished underbelly via a Queens junkyard neighborhood called the "Iron Triangle," where 12-year-old Latino orphan Ale (Alejandro Polanco) plans for his future
