Movie Reviews

EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyToo sprawling and disappointingly sentimental, this family saga is nonetheless Gregory Nava's breakthrough feature, made on a larger canvas with bigger budget and name cast (Jimmy Smits, Edward James Olmos, Esai Morales).
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzAn ambitious sweeping epic made for a meager $5 1/2 million about three generations of a Mexican-American family.
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatTouching and often mystical portrait of a multi-generational Mexican-American family in East Los Angeles.

User Review - 10/10 by amy mthis is a great movie..reveals the history of one family..loved it truly a treasure of a movie
User Review - 10/10 by Alvin YMy Family, Great Movies This movie is by far one of the best Latino stories I have ever seen. True, the movie does use stereotypes (such as Jimmy and his prison life) Chuco and his gang life which eventually leads to his death, and of course who can forget the backyard wedding and the large family living in a small home. However, this movie is not meant to be a representation of ALL Latino's everywhere, rather its meant to merely tell one families story and struggles in the United States. The comments stating "This movie does not represent Latinos everywhere!!" are absolutely correct. And it does not represent Latinos, but it does help you learn about one family you learn to almost care about by the end of the film. Going back to the story itself, I can honestly say that the movie itself was very well made. Jimmy Smits performance was superb and the movie was very focused on all the family members. The film provides a sense of hope at the end, basically trying to get across that while life is full of problems they are manageable. Also, the fact that the movie also involved a different Latino culture, such as the Central American Isabel helped viewers understand that even among Latino's there are differences in cultures. I would definitely recommend this movie to someone willing to learn about one Mexican American families struggle.
User Review - 10/10 by javier lI freakin love this movie even cry also used to watch it over and over even rent it 3x story of my life
User Review - 10/10 by Ana VThis movie couldn't have been MORE accurate if they tried! It LITERALLY has every aspect of a Latino family!
User Review - 10/10 by Jairo AThis movie is one of my favorites of this genre...the acting is very good, the shots and cinematography give it an appropriate old feel. It has some comedy and lots of realism (with family peoblems), there's trajedy and happy experiences in this film...it has everything! It was a joy to watch in the 90s and it was equally enjoyable when I recently watched it! Is it my favorite film that I have rated 5/5? No but it's a must watch!
