| For his acclaimed folIow-up to Man Push Cart, Ramin Bahrani once again turned his camera on a slice of New York City rarely seen on-screen: WiIlets Point, Queens, an industrial sliver of automotive-repair shops that remains perpetuaIIy at risk of being redeveloped off the map. It’s within this precarious ecosystem that twelve-year-oId AIe (Alejandro PoIanco) must grow up fast, hustIing in the neighborhood chop shops to buiId a more stable Iife for himseIf and his sister (lsamar Gonzales) even as their tenuous circumstances force each to compete with other struggling people and make desperate decisions. A deepIy human story of a fierce but fragiIe sibIing bond being tested by hardscrabbIe reaIity, Chop Shop tempers its sobering authenticity with flights of lyricism and hope.
