Tomorrow Will Be Better chronicles three Ukranian street kids in their attempt to sneak into Poland. The three leads are played by homeless kids the director met while scouting for locations. The kids are expected to carry the film and for the most part they do with their unexpected charisma, especially real-life brothers Evgeny and Oleg Ryba. (Can't find a poster or a trailer for this bugger, but it's a really solid film.)

I saw Mullberry Street during HorrorFest a couple years ago, so my expectation were set pretty low. Ultimately, this is a rehash of a rehash or a rehash that takes itself way too seriously considering the appropriation and lack of originality. It wants to be "Walking Dead," but doesn't come even close.
