A macho ex-convict (Benjamin Bratt) in San Francisco has difficulty accepting the fact that his only son (Jeremy Ray Valdez) is gay.

Brian Tallerico

Movie Retriever

A well-intentioned film that nonetheless falls head first into the kind of surface-level clichs and stereotypes that are usually reserved for basic cable TV movies.

La Mission feels more like Sundance fodder from 20 or 25 years ago than something with much relevance today.

I don't require acceptance and reconciliation, and La Mission is forthright in avoiding easy answers. But does the screenplay shortchange Che by painting him more broadly at the film's end than he seemed at the beginning?

Rated: 2.5/4

Laramie Movie Scope

Looks and sounds great with beautiful low-rider cars, colorful location shots and a unique musical score composed by South African musician Mark Kilian ("Rendition"), along with some classic golden oldies on the soundtrack.

Rated: B

Without a big budget and little promotion, the creators of 'La Mission' brought together one of the more memorable movies of the year.

Good acting, ok plot, and great storyline. The beauty of the movie, besides the nearly flawless acting, was the hundreds of individual issues taken across the entire storyline. It raised a lot of questions and gave some decent potential answers, most without words. It carried the watcher through this with soft landings on hard topics.

Beautiful : Authentically visually captures San Francisco, Not the tourist San Franciso of Vertigo, but the places where people live: and the Mission District in all its charming funkiness, the vista from Potrero Hill. A beautiful heartfelt fairytale.

Benjamin Bratt really brings his all in this movie. It was a pretty intense movie but in the end, well, you need to watch. :)
