Critic Reviews

80 Film Threat Dennis Przywara
Jesus Nebot pulls off the impossible task of not only being the writer, director, producer, and star of the film No Turning Back, but makes it all work into a satisfying and socially conscious film as well.
50 Variety Dennis Harvey
Competently made but unconvincing melodrama.
40 LA Weekly Chuck Wilson
Heartfelt yet overly schematic debut feature.
30 Los Angeles Times Kevin Crust
More a 99-minute public service announcement about the plight of illegal immigrants than a fully formed drama, the film finds itself in a no-win situation not unlike that of its protagonist.
