      Israel S Un Buena Peli y Un Casi Decente Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/23 Full Review Audience Member La pelicula es muy buena, reflejo la realidad por la que tienen que pasar los latinos para viajar a Estados Unidos y mostrando la cruda vida de los bolivianos en muchos aspectos Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review dave j Friday, August 24, 2012 (2006) American Visa (In Mexico with English subtitles) DRAMA/ THRILLER Low budget and another strictly by the book film about ordinary Mexican man leaving his teaching days behind to live in the United States where his already grown up son's been living assuming that he could slip through the cracks through immigration and the officials put a harder stance on Mexican visitors since others may have tried a similar tactic and doesn't realize it forcing him to resort to doing something illegal. The politics and the system regarding people who want to go past the border is interesting but everything else is nothing new. 2 out of 4 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Not so sure I liked this it. It was ok I guess. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Surprisingly solid action-comedy from Bolivia, about a professor looking to get a tourist visa so he can join his son living illegally in the United States. It makes Bolivia look absolutely beautiful, and I like that the US Embassy people are shown as mysteriously suave and not as villains. A really entertaining film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member BAstante buena, la direccion es muy interesante, no mediocre o amateur como suelen ser peliculas nacionales. La trama ofrece algunos puntos interesantes, aunque abundan los intentos pobres y obvios de critica social, a base de comentarios sobreentendidos y cliches. LA actuacion no es muy buena, pero no tan mala tampoco. La musicalizacion y edicion me gusto mucho. Algunas de las secuencias de sexo parecen no relacionarse o ser necesarias en la trama para nada. PArece que la pelicula intenta responder la pregunta que se plantea en algun momento ¿ Cuál es el sueño boliviano? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
