Featured reviews
Outside of the sensationalist headlines surrounding the issue of immigration in America, the film manages to not only take a nuanced look at the complexity and humanity of the search for a better life. Yes, this is a sensitive subject, but the film works very hard to give audiences a chance to see past the political talking points and address more intimate issues of survival, friendship, and family.
Since this movie has to do about illegal immigration, it's a controversial topic to watch. People are review bombing this based on their political beliefs. If you can put your political belief to the side and watch this movie, its a gritty tale of what it takes to enter the United States illegally. It has its elements of "hollywooding" scenes for entertainment purposes but its still a good drama and showcase the journey a young boy had to endure.
This has the feel of an honestly told story. I don't know if it's true but the emotions are genuine. A story well told, well acted, and well directed.
I was left in tears! The show was very powerful. I can relate to the pain and hardship that little Oscar is dealing with. I have witnessed it first hand. Very powerful performances! A must watch!
I saw the info about this movie while surfing through channels. It was already on and I had no intentions on watching a movie already in progress. Needless to say I didn't find another movie to watch, didn't even look for one until it went off. If it isn't a true story it could be. The acting, the storyline just everything about this movie feels authentic.
