Leave your thoughts about Frontera.
| USA TodayClaudia PuigPeña is a standout, and Longoria is a revelation as the vulnerable, pregnant Paulina. Hers is a decidedly un-glamorous part and Longoria compellingly fleshes out an under-written role. |
| Village VoiceStephanie ZacharekBerry isn't afraid to use melodrama as a tool to highlight injustice. It's his very un-flashiness that makes Frontera effective. |
| HollywoodInToto.comChristian TotoFrontera avoids stepping on an illegal immigration soap box until the movie's final shot. |
| Los Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyIn trying to create a balanced portrait of the conflicts and the ordinary people affected by them, director Michael Berry, who co-wrote the screenplay with Luis Moulinet III, chips away at the authenticity and intensity that an issue-driven film like this sorely needs. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenFrontera settles into a shallow, unconvincing drama with two heroes. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekEd Harris brings such world-weary gravitas to his role as a grieving widower...that he comes close to making up for the picture's sometimes clunky narrative. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzFrontera does not measure up as an issue-oriented film |
| Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenAt once understated and slightly pulpy, the film comes down squarely on the side of compassion. It’s no polemic, but neither is it as character-driven as it aims to be. |
| The DissolveAndrew LapinBefore the hokey third act, there’s much to like about Michael Berry’s border-crossing drama Frontera. |
| Slant MagazineDavid Lee DallasBy turns abrasive and stately, sermonic and impartial, plot-heavy and meandering, often within seconds of each other. |
