LA Times reviews Fox SearchLight's first Latino movie, a Spanish-language immigrant movie - Under the Same Moon

"Sweet-natured but tough-minded, "Under the Same Moon" arrives in theaters at a time when politicians, pundits and the public are engaging in (mainly) verbal slugfests over immigration, a recurrent hot-button issue in American history. But although Villalobos deliberately wove migrant-related themes into her screenplay, she agrees with Riggen that the movie is more of a personal than a political statement."

My comments: I saw a premiere of this very touching and heartwarming production at the National Association of Minority Media Executives conference last summer. The film is definitely more personal than political. It's not a must see, but a go see.
