**Initial Impressions** At first, I was unsure about watching documentary-style films, as I typically prefer action and adventure movies. However, once I began watching, I was instantly drawn in. The film deserves its recognition as an experimental feature film from The Golden State Film Festival, rather than being labeled a traditional documentary. **Emotional Journey** Them Public Romantics offers a vivid look at the daily realities on the corners of Los Angeles. As I watched, I experienced a range of emotions—sadness, curiosity, anger, and even laughter. The film challenges viewers by exposing how many situations in America are often overlooked, ignored, or pushed aside. **Lasting Impact** By the end, I found myself eager to watch it again, hoping for the release of Them Public Romantics Part 2 soon.
