Your Reviews
I was literally blown away by "La Mission" as I knew hardly anything about this film before renting it on DVD. First of all by the exceptional performance by Benjamin Bratt and also by... the boy who played his son. There is also a very fine supporing cast who all come across more like authentic and genuine characters rather than actors. There is a pervading atmosphere throughout the film and some stunning photography of San Francisco especiall of graffitti like paintrings drawn on walls and buildings in the bay area. The interaction between son and Father is especially touching as the father slowlyh comes to grips with the fact that his son is gay. This is one of the best films I have seen in a very long time with scenes that genuinely move you and stay with your long after the film is over. Full Review
This movie was amazing! It was thoughtful, compelling, powerful... I'm going back to see it again this week. Benjamin Bratt and the entire cast were fabulous. Lots of hard-hitting themes were addresse... d in the movie, all in ways that drew me into the story more deeply. Excellent movie! Full Review
I just got back from viewing this movie with my 21 yr old daughter...I truly enjoyed this film as well as my daughter. Being Mexican, I appreciated the realistic views of bringing the "gay" ... lifestyle into our family. It was very much how our own families sometimes react to life..sad but true...very powerful movie...I plan on going to see it again with my husband and two other teenagers! Full Review
Great People, Great cast, I enjoyed meeting all the actors in the movie, they were great people, and i enjoyed the movie This is Limo Bob saying Hi, to all my friends there. PS Thanks Erika for gett... ing us into the other premeir, your a doll! www.limobob.com Full Review
