Keith B B @Okbullard Dec 28, 2025 It was a very engaging film with good acting and storyline. It was very intense and sad at times. The ending was pretty cool. It's worth the watch. See more Jul 14, 2022 I totally loved this movie. I really connected with the mother and her journey because she reminded me of my mother and her journey. I also love this story because it depicts the story of many of the imported people in America. This is a must watch movie. Lisette Feliciano is an amazing director.

See more Nov 30, 2021 One of my favorite films of 2021. See more Nov 30, 2021 This is an amazing film by a young woman who knows her subject inside and out. Her characters are alive and her story involves her own family and herself. Aware as she is of the use of breaking the fourth wall in comedy, she uses it to engage with her audience. I cannot recommend this film enough. See more Read all reviews
