Blood of My Blood Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Stumbles through a maddening screenplay but nevertheless generates true emotional energy.
Chicago Tribune
Tasha Robinson
[Director Christopher] Zalla keeps the tension high through a taut story rather than through manipulative, obtrusive thriller direction.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
[Director Christopher] Zalla may have provided his characters with a overly constructed tragedy, but his eye for city life and his seeming gift with actors promises astute, generous work to come.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Although it exhibits a heartfelt connection with the city's half-invisible population of illegal immigrants, its myriad inconsistencies and strained plotting are increasingly frustrating.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Shot mainly in New York's meanest, murkiest streets, Sangre de Mi Sangre, is intricately and imaginatively structured, building to a powerful climax of complex irony.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
A suspenseful movie with no intention of sugarcoating the daily hardships of New York's underclass.
Newsday
John Anderson
The grimy elegance of this Sundance award winner elevates it well above the standard-issue immigrant drama.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Zalla wants to know the point where boys become cynics, men become vultures, and the hardened become vulnerable.
AV Club
Noel Murray
[Director] Zalla prefers to wallow in the dead-end, an approach that's initially powerful, then numbing.
Slant Magazine
Keith Uhlich
Winner of the 2006 Sundance Grand Jury Prize, Padre Nuestro unfortunately lives down to the dubious nature (with a few notable exceptions) of that so-called honor.
Paste Magazine
Alissa Wilkinson
Well-acted and gripping, Sangre de mi Sangre augurs well for Zalla's career.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Christopher Zalla, a graduate of the film program at Columbia University, makes an impressive debut with this suspense feature about illegal immigrants and stolen identity.
The Deadbolt
Brian Tallerico
There's nothing easy about Christopher Zalla's very good film, a story that will get under your skin in its depiction of the dark underbelly of the American dream.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
Plot flaws and all, we can be glad that the picture was made -- because of its acting.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Sangre de Mi Sangre stacks up as an original achievement in its own chosen genre, that of the troubled immigrant in a land of advertised promise, who too often is inflicted with pain and exploitation.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
The result is contrived, but compelling -- as is the movie's high-powered humanism.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
In Sangre de mi Sangre, Christopher Zalla serves up an old-fashioned, sentimental weeper with a sucker punch of urban-immigrant horror.
Variety
Robert Koehler
[Jesus] Ochoa is such a masterful actor that he makes things fairly interesting despite the script, with Hernandez and Espindola well-cast as two young men operating by different moral compasses.
