Daniel G @DanielGodoyBsb Nov 29, 2022 Though slow, this realistic movie about the challenges of the American Dream highlights that most people are actually good and willing to help. From the looks of things, if the mother continues her selfless dedication to work and has the help of the Chinese landlords, soon her kids will be able to go to school and improve on their lot collectively - unless they get in with the wrong crowd. Important that there were clear signs of the stark reality that life in the US can also represent. And I absolutely was reminded of The Florida Project, one of 1st movies we watched on streaming (on HBO as well). See more

Kevin L @Lakeman Oct 14, 2022 What a lovely, slice of all-too-real life, movie. Wonderful performances esp. by the two boys, Leo and Max Marquez, and Martha Arias. Nice supporting work also by Cic and Johnson Lau. The direction by Samuel Kishi, as well as the screenplay by himself and his co-writers, shows signs of knowing what this experience is like, or at least some tought experiences in some low rent dives. The tone is just right for the context of the film and the events that transpire, and is maintained throughout. I did have hope that one issue would be resolved, and how it may well play out. Turns out it was, and just how I had imagined it might. This for me doesn't mean it was predictable. Rather it was an action that showed the still remaining virtues of a child that hasn't had life's miseries beat the goodness and remorse out yet. And it led to Lucia and her sons getting a reward for all their suffering and sacrifice, even if it was just for a day. Such are the moments that bring hope for the future. 3.3 stars See more

Jan 9, 2021 Esta película autobiográfica de Samuel Kishi te embarca en un viaje que sufren miles de personas en busca del supuesto sueño americano. Un drama familiar donde una madre, lucha por sacar adelante su familia con dos trabajos mientras deja en casa a sus dos hijos controlados por una grabadora, cuyos solo quieren ir a Walt Disney. Max y Leo van creciendo poco a poco durante la película hasta convertirse en personajes convincentes y creíbles, hasta cierto punto que empatizas con ellos. El matrimonio Chang, simboliza ese soplo de aire fresco que necesitan los niños para poder disfrutar del exterior. Lucía, trabajadora con dos hijos, lucha constantemente por salir adelante y olvidar su pasado para alcanzar el sueño americano que todo el mundo desea. Emotiva, cautivadora y tierna. See more

nefasto r @Nefasto Nov 22, 2020 Nothing unexpected, and to be honest even a bit tedious, and yet the sweetness of the film and the "softness" of the acting will make it worth your while. See more
