| Jan 19, 2024
A solid melodrama and feel-good movie that does not move an inch from the Hollywood model. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 29, 2023
An inspirational story with universal appeal... the problem is it's a bit too conventional.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 27, 2023
An astronaut's true story provides entertainment and inspiration.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Oct 7, 2023
It falls back on the tropes that we've seen in other inspirational films... But I don't won't to fault it too much because the story is so remarkable.

This is an inspiring story, very well-done, great bio-pic based on a true story.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Oct 3, 2023
Co-written and directed by Alejandra Márquez Abella, A Million Miles Away is an excellent choice to enjoy with family. A motivating lesson about the power of a dream: if there is enough punch, the dream can actually become true. [Full Review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 29, 2023
On top of all this is the winning lead performance from Peña, who makes it nearly impossible not to like this guy. We accept his dream and want him to succeed.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 27, 2023
The result is not very emotional. The whole thing is a bit too superficial. [Full review in Spanish]

Rose Salazar brings grace and grit to improbable astronaut tale.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 24, 2023
Michael Peña once again proves he’s one of the best actors working in Hollywood. The movie is a feel-good and inspirational story. It's perfect family entertainment, especially for Latinos who rarely see themselves portrayed positively on screen.
| Original Score: A- | Sep 20, 2023
Michael Pena and Rosa Salazar do nice work about nice people in a film that feels almost too nice for its own good but lacks any kind of cinematic ambition and will forever feel locked into the blandness of 온라인카지노추천 movie-of-the-week territory.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 19, 2023
A Million Miles Away is the year's best family film.
| Original Score: B+ | Sep 19, 2023
It's quite a journey and A Million Miles Away, based on a memoir Hernandez wrote, does everything it can to honor it.
| Sep 18, 2023
A Million Miles Away doesn’t exactly zoom past the stratosphere, but it’s kept in orbit by Hernández’s inspirational true story and the comfort of family ties.
| Sep 18, 2023
Despite its rickety foundation, the movie works for the most part, pushing past some of the rote look-at-all-the-sacrifices-Jose’s-family-made-for-him melodrama to emphasize the challenges a Mexican-American man must overcome to achieve a wild dream.
| Sep 18, 2023
A lively & inspiring biopic that truly goes the distance. It celebrates José Hernández's story with an equal sense of wonder & heartfelt passion.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 17, 2023
There’s not a second where this film’s heart is not in the right place, and this school teacher will take these submissions every chance he gets.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 16, 2023
It’s a story that exceeds the bounds of Earth with enough heart to keep it grounded.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 15, 2023
The film is inspiring, featuring an appealing lead performance by Peña, who doesn’t get as many starring roles as he should.
