Collisions

This is a wonderful character-driven film that is timely, heartbreaking, redemptive, and important. COLLISIONS was made a few years ago, before the awful immigration policies of the U.S. government went full-on nuclear toward our southern neighbors. Ahead of its time, it shows the big picture of what's going on with our border wars with a fairly simple story of a loving, broken, and displaced Mexican family going through a harrowing experience that threatens their survival as a unit. I just found out that the young actress, Izabella Alvarez, won the Imagen Award for her key role in it. That's what reminded me of the film, and the reason to post this review. Do yourself a favor, and check out not just her moving performance, but a a great indie flick, as well!

Heartbreaking wake up call for the reality and cruelty of the world we currently live in. This movie moves hearts and speaks more than any words would. It is a call for human compassion and understanding.

A fabulous film that explores the story behind those headlines we see. Thoroughly enjoyed it my 15yr old said this should be shown at all schools.

Heart-wrenching? Yes. True to reality? Perhaps. I don't like the idea of separating parents and children, ever, but ...

I was raised with the understanding that rules have consequences, either good or bad. If you follow the rules the consequences are positive. If you break the rules the consequences are ultimately negative, as seen in Collisions.

This movie seems to have a bent toward the leftist side of the political arena and attack President Donald Trump and his policies. But I can't help but think that if Evencio could be in the United States and have his green card, then why not his sister Yoana? If someone doesn't follow the rules to legally be a resident of the US then the consequences are usually dire as this movie portrayed.

Regardless of which side a person stands regarding immigration, I think this movie is a must see.

Wow, is it art imitating life or the other way around? This is a beautiful and compelling film that puts the humanity on the ICE/Immigrant situation! The film is so powerful because it puts faces and personalities on the statistics of how inhumane Trump's treatment of immigrants has been.

Bravo to this film for peeling back caricatures painted the xenophobic right wing Americans and giving us a look at the real human cost of such harsh immigration policies.

The film is beautifully shot, well-acted, accessible, and extremely poignant. If people don't respond to this story, they must be already dead.

It takes the issues head on and makes one realize that we are all people born into circumstances, whether good or bad, that we have no control over. This film makes us realize that the privileged are merely that way because of the way the dice rolled.

Kudos to the cast and crew for creating this timely and important message with goal of bringing ever more needed awareness to this issue.
