Eu Sou Vanessa Guillen

What I liked:

1. Dealt with issues that could easily be dry, boring and slow in a really compelling way issues like legislation.

2. Doesn't indulge in the gore of the crime in an insensitive way.

3. This is a story that is shocking, sad, hopeful and inspiring. It really captures all kinds of emotions.

4. Moves fast. It's clear. It's complex.

5. It makes you think about it afterwards. Sticks with you.

6. I like the music through most of the film and the song at the end with the singer.

What I wished it had:

1. Wrap up of the criminal's trial. I just looked it up and saw the trial got delayed and maybe Netflix didn't want to wait to see how that finishes out.

2. I liked this topic in a film form but also think there's a lot to it and could be a series. I thought the narrative was pretty solid, but wouldn't mind a follow up.

3. Archival heavy in some parts - guessing couldn't be avoided.

This film had me in tears 5 min in and over and over again. One family, 1st generation really shows what it means to love, protect and care for each other against all odds.

The story deals with a lot of issues and it deals with them well, but this is about family and the Latino community uniting above all else. It made me proud. It made me sad. It made me want to make this country better just like the family in the film does.

This is also about a social movement that blew up online and if you go on twitter, this film is getting to people. I thought I was just feeling extra emotional but this film has people balling their eyes out.

It's also fast moving. Was never bored. Just overwhelmed with emotion.

This doc shook me to the core. It was emotional and offers quite a refreshing point of view.

If you're expecting a traditional crime doc, then maybe not your cup of tea. If you are open to watching something more interesting then the same old formula of gore and exploitation, this breaks the mold.

This film gave me some hope, not only about democracy but humankind as well. A beautiful testament to a young woman, the legacy her family has built in her honor.

This felt intimate, thoughtfully crafted, sensitive and fair. The filmmakers handled this delicate story with gentle care and as a viewer, appreciated that. Imagine this was gut-wrenching to make.

I simply can't get this film out of my mind.

This is way too long. The focus on the family is not interesting. There is a lot of ignorance about the law around the living suspect not being read Miranda, the way bills work. This is even from the expert lawyers. It's a sad story but it just goes on, there are errors, there is a ton of humble bragging that diminishes the family. It's not very coherent overall. It's not a good watch.

It is a documentary about the sisters, it spends a lot of time mentioning how young one is. It never gives a motive for the killing. It shouldn't have been made before the other person charged had a judgment, it's too open ended not well made.

I would of rated this a 10 but because the producers and writers decided this would be good media blaming Trump for not passing the original bill was bogus. At the time the House and Senate was Democrat majority. At least Trump saw the sisters, Biden did not when the sisters came out to DC the 2nd time.

I give Mayra much praise for giving life to this bill and I'm sure now 2022 she truly understands what involves with political science. I was happy to hear the mother and Mayra give their true thoughts on the superiors of Fort Hood and place them on alert because they need to resign. I hope in the years coming that Mayra will be a future congresswoman, she has that fight and gumption instilled in her heart and soul.
