good family drama lil long though

The Ozu plots will be remade forever, but will anyone dare to adapt his style?

A sweet, sad, little story. It could easily have been twenty or thirty minutes shorter and just as effective.

This movie has a slow pace, but some wonderful moments. It's a slice of life movie about strong relationships, and the importance of family. Not for someone who gets bored easily, however, because it really is a slow moving (yet nice) drama.

romance and responsibility

A subtle film on the struggle to define love, family, and relationships. In some ways this film has amazing uniqueness, but it tends to take those aspects and overdo them. Some paring down of story lines and the nonverbal sequences would make this film much more satisfying.

Sensitive film about cultural and generational conflicts within a migrant family in Texas. Engrossing in a quiet way.

a very pure, touching, sad movie about family, bonds, love, care, responsibility...so natural, so simple, yet so beautiful...

A real gem. Show true love and bonding of family and people you treat like family. It also shows some people who have no feelings for the people that have sacrifice for them.

pretty interesting movie. made me truly realize how depressing it can be to be a elderly mexican immigrant in the US.

A great story of an aging man, his struggles with family and work. The characters are portrayed excellently. It is such a sad story.

A very quiet, observant, and sweet film. I love that it's natural and tells a story that I haven't seen portrayed on film before - we always need more of that! The performances were lovely and well done on the whole. There was an honesty to this film that is lacking in so many films that are done on a larger scale. My only major complaint is that it meanders and consequently was longer than it needed to be - but still a great film.

This movie moved me. It may be my #1 movie of the year.

A good "low-key", low budget movie, filmed in Texas.

This is a great Movie.

The story sometimes moves at a crawl, but always the filmmaker follows the pair with unobtrusive attentiveness to conflicting cultural and generational pulls.

So I got to see an advance screening of this film. I personally wouldn't go out and see a film like this, but it was so well made and engrossing that I thoroughly enjoyed it. The best part was meeting the director and the main character. Glad I saw it!

A beautiful movie with picturesque visuals and moving performances.
