We're left unable to get the music -- and the musicians -- out of our heads.
Top CriticAl Otro Lado serves as a primer on a musical style that may be unfamiliar to many, while putting a human face on the problem of illegal immigrants.
This infectious documentary by Natalia Almanda sings clear and strong when it sticks to translating the culture of corrido music for gringos.
Humane, visually exquisite and resists simple descriptions while moving toward a more mainstream non-fiction form.
A competent, earnest ethnographic video doc that never quite rises above its own best intentions.
The film's heart is Magdiel and the modest dreams that get him through the day but may also be the death of him.
A prime example of Attention Deficit Disorder Filmmaking.
