Brian Tallerico Movie Retriever 07/09/2010
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. Go to Full Review Scott Tobias AV Club 07/08/2010

La Mission feels more like Sundance fodder from 20 or 25 years ago than something with much relevance today. Go to Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 07/08/2010
2.5/4
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? Go to Full Review Robert Roten Laramie Movie Scope 12/31/2010

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. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 12/25/2010

09/23/2019 Great movie about the difficulties Latinos face with accepting LGBT relatives. See more 04/14/2014 Nice to see a movie representing the Chicano Gay community. See more 03/10/2014 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. See more 01/12/2014 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. See more 12/02/2013 Benjamin Bratt really brings his all in this movie. It was a pretty intense movie but in the end, well, you need to watch. :) See more 09/23/2013 Benjamin Bratt delivers an excellent portrayal in this sleep hit. See more Read all reviews
