"Parked" collapses into sentimentality that not even an actor of Mr. Meaney's dignity and restraint can redeem from mawkishness.

This engaging character study functions best as a two-hander: The male leads build a wholly believable, offbeat co-dependency, while their interactions with others tend toward the more generic.
Ronnie Scheib, Variety

[An] elegant, engaging meditation on displacement and the modern man.
Michelle Orange, Village Voice

Strong performances bolster a dodgy scenario in homeless drama.
