    This is the first film to approach the subject of "undocumented workers" solely through their eyes. This is not one of those docudramas where we half-expect a test at the end, but a film like "The Grapes of Wrath" that gets inside the hearts of its characters and lives with them.

    An effective and moving drama about the strength of the human spirit and the will to survive.

    Nava has made a film that is essentially indistinguishable from "Love Story."

    Way overrated. Just because it is a foreign film released in the US does not mean it should get high scores. Anyway, the movie is over dramatic and leans ton heavily on melodrama.… Expand
