Movie Reviews

New York Post - 8/10 by V.A. MusettoServes as a primer on a musical style that may be unfamiliar to many, while putting a human face on the problem of illegal immigrants.
TV Guide Magazine - 8/10 by Maitland McDonaghThe film's heart is Magdiel and the modest dreams that get him through the day but may also be the death of him.
New York Daily News - 8/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanAlmada steadfastly reserves judgment, which means we don't learn if there are members of the Mexican community who disapprove of corrido's hard-edged lyrics. But she makes a pretty good case for its passionate fans. Like them, we're left unable to get the music - and the musicians - out of our heads.
Variety - 7/10 by Robert KoehlerViewers unaware of the music --hugely popular among Mexicans -- and the often intensely nationalist sentiments behind it, may blanch at the open chauvinism and celebration of outlaw lifestyles. But part of the pic's strength is its presenting the cultural strain as it is, without comment.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Michael AtkinsonA competent, earnest ethnographic video doc that never quite rises above its own best intentions.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Nathan LeeThis infectious little movie enriches understanding of the immigrant experience insofar as it translates one of its main forms of expression. Where the movie goes wrong, albeit down a forgivable path, is in the attempt to personalize its subject by means of biographical focus on an aspiring corrido composer.
