KATE DEL CASTILLO,DERBEZ,CARMEN SALINAS Y EL NINO ADRIAN MIS FELICITACIONES POR TREMENDAS ACTUACIONES.....ARRIBA LA RAZA!!!!!
Yes I give this one four stars (tacos) . It was wonderful and well acted from the beginning to the super emotional ending. This is a movie about the reunion of mother and son and the tribulations the little one goes through to get to her. Forget all that nonsense about the political slant of the film and how offended some Americnas are about the pro illegeal immigration stance the filmmakers
i seen this movie. i think if people are good people. the only thing there doing working here for there familles i come from Mom and dad that are Ecuadorian. i was born here in us. i think u shouldn't judge nobody if there working for there familles just like you and me. you people judge to much. everyone in us has someone of there family that was an illegal immigrant. in everyone's family

Thanks to the uncommonly shrewd judgment of screenwriter Ligiah Villalobos and director Patricia Riggen, both newcomers, the film never feels like rank exploitation, even as it steadily aims for the emotional jugular. Full Review

USA Today
A powerful and evocative account of the efforts undertaken to forge a perilous mother-and-child reunion. Told in Spanish with English subtitles, it is a moving tale of yearning, as well as unflagging courage and determination. Full Review

The strong final third counterbalances the weaknesses of the first half. I prefer films that build to something worthwhile rather than collapse short of the finish line. Full Review

The New York Times
This is screenwriting by numbers. Unlike, say, Ken Loach's marvelous "Bread and Roses," Under the Same Moon is too busy sanctifying its protagonists and prodding our tear ducts to say anything remotely novel about immigration policies or their helpless victims. Full Review

Under the Same Moon comes most vividly to life when Adrian Alonso is on the screen. Full Review
