Based on a true story, TOW follows Amanda Ogle (Rose Byrne), a woman living in her aging Toyota Camry on the streets of Seattle. When her car -- her only lifeline -- is stolen and impounded, Amanda is thrust into a relentless legal battle against an indifferent system. What begins as a fight to reclaim her car evolves into a deeply human story of resilience, dignity, and the power of one woman's voice in the face of systemic failure.

B-
Comes dangerously close to being crass poverty porn. But even with those narrative shortcomings, it’s hard to dispute that the film has good intentions. Go to Full Review Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter Jun 12
In its modest way, Tow sends a powerful message about how many of us have more in common with a person sleeping in a car than we do the billionaires we’ve been conditioned to admire. Go to Full Review Ruth Maramis FlixChatter Film Blog 8h

Byrne makes it watchable, but this poverty drama lacks authenticity and emotional impact. In the end, it leaves me feeling indifferent instead of inspired. Go to Full Review Dave Giannini InSession Film 8h

it is impossible not to be moved by a woman wronged by the system, especially during a scene in which Byrne reads from her journal in a perfectly halting, emotional speech, one can’t help but think they have seen this all before, and in this exact order.

It's something of a disappointment that the film, as a whole, fails to live up to Byrne's great work in it. But it's certainly not a bad film. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
