The film does not flinch and shows us what some other lives are like.
16 March 2001
TOOM is a slice of life film which confronts the viewer with a stark view of the world many not-comfortably settled members of our community actually live. It shows this view without flinching, and without horror, even in the most confrontational moments.

The poetry sharply contrasts to the imagery. Bukowski's "Style" is a modern classic.

It is a hard film to watch because it steps outside of our comfort zones, yet, like "Man of Flowers" and "Montenegro", it is well worth the time and perceverance.
