Alambrista! Ratings & Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A worthy social drama on the heartbreaking hardships of being a Mexican illegal in the States.

Eric Melin
Roberto endures and escapes one random set of dire circumstances after another without feeling contrived or stopping for cheap sentimental tricks. He even makes a certain selfish choice, but at the time, after what he's been through, who could blame him?
Movie Metropolis
Christopher Long
Free of false sentiment and always clear of vision.
Groucho Reviews
Peter Canavese
Now the film can be more fully appreciated for what it is: an influential inspiration to Latino filmmakers and a powerful, non-politicized depiction of the wages of American immigration policy. [Blu-ray]
