From the Other Side Ratings & Reviews
Mark Leeper's Reviews
Mark R. Leeper
This film goes for more of a stylistic effect leaving the political impact secondary. A more effective approach would have made this much more the film that was needed.
Boxoffice Magazine
Jordan Reed
Akerman spends so much time capturing non-events, albeit picturesquely, she misses out on the opportunity to delve deeper into the plights of the people themselves.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Thought-provoking documentary on illegal immigrants.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Akerman is a first-rate visual artist, and the film's most eloquent passages are her long, silent shots of the landscape that soon reveal deeper layers of meaning.
Movie Metropolis
Christopher Long
Akerman assumes the persona of a visitor who is probing the surface with the keen eye of a trained observer, but also with the humility of a stranger.
ToxicUniverse.com
Dan Callahan
Chantal Akerman's new documentary is bewilderingly narrow.
New York Times
Dave Kehr
A spare, painterly and scrupulously unsentimental look at the plight of illegal Mexican immigrants massed at the United States border.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
A highly stylized and artsy documentary that is more concerned with emotionalism and visual expressiveness than facts.
Village Voice
Jessica Winter
Akerman's characteristically patient, pensive approach elegantly accommodates her reportorial responsibilities.
