No words, Its a superb film, The best movie I ever seen.

A story focused on the preservation of the humanity of a family unit despite the absence of it around. subtle and appropriate political statements.

This is a film dedicated to those “innocent voices” that were silenced. These are the voices of thousands of children who could not tell their own stories. At least, there is one voice to be heard, one that remains us that those who could not make it won’t be forgotten. It is a great story; a political story without taking sides, but at the same time, it shows the cruel and brutal reality that people lived during the civil war in El Salvador.… Expand

This was a great Movie, The Child actors were some of the best I have ever seen. Carlos Padilla did a great job in the lead roll, as did the rest of the cast.

This movie is so powerful. We watched it in spanish class and it pretty much made my year.

This movie deserves an Oscar! A powerful movie that masterfully combines humor with history. I enjoyed every minute of it. All of the actors were great especially the lead little boy -- amazing. Definitely a must see film.

[***SPOILERS***] Great movie, it's conforting to know that even at such difficult times, family and friendship ties cannot be destroyed. For me it was specially touching the friendship between Ancha and Chava so the scene where Ancha is killed for helping him escape from soldiers wasreally heart breaking.

I thought this film was powerful & moving and I am so glad to see it's finally in release, I want to tell everyone to go see it!

The best movie I ever seen. I like it so much! The first movie of my grade.

The innocent voice and spirit of survival is strongly portrayed by Carlos Padilla (Chava), an 11-year-old boy who becomes the “man of the house” after his father leaves them in the middle of a civil war. This film is a good example that demonstrates that each individual who immigrates to the U.S.A, or any other country to escape war, poverty, or oppression has a story to tell.

Movie was very sad , made my husband remember what it was like when he was there and how u suffer.

One of the best films I've seen in years.

This film is the most ovelooked film of the year. It is an amazing film that should've won an oscar last year. This has been the only movie that has made an emotional impact in my life, it made me cry, laugh, but mostly realize the all the INNOCENT VOICES there are in the kids during wars. Since we are currently in one, this film is very especial to me. I'm glad to see that this year it has been recognized by the National Board Of Review, Washington Film Critics, San Franciso Film Festival and the Satellite Awards. I first saw it at the Toronto Film Festival, where the whole audience was crying and at the end of the film stood up clapping. THIS IS A MUST SEE!… Expand
