Heaven Knows What is a 2014 psychological drama film directed by Josh and Benny Safdie and written by Joshua Safdie and Ronald Bronstein. It was based on the then-unpublished book Mad Love in New York City by Arielle Holmes. Starring Holmes, Buddy Duress and Caleb Landry Jones, it follows a homeless young group of heroin addicts in the streets of New York City.
Heaven Knows What had world premiere in the Horizons section of the 71st Venice International Film Festival on August 29, 2014, and was theatrically released in the United States on May 29, 2015, by Radius-TWC. The film received positive reviews from critics.
The film is dedicated to Ilya Leontyev (portrayed by Jones), Holmes' former boyfriend who was found dead after a drug overdose in Central Park in April 2015.
