Daniel G Though pretty, it's a bit slow. A slice of life of Hispanics and others in the 1940s New Mexico was made captivating and at times like Garcia Marquez' "magic realism". There was less focus than expected on the relationship between Ultima and the true protagonist, the young Hispanic. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/21/22 Full Review Audience Member The book is full of mysticism and follows a young boy who goes through a series of transitions that force him to confront his religion as well as his family. This movie did not do the book justice. Many of the dreams Antonio had were left out or glossed over. The death scenes were watered down and the language that was used by the kids was also toned down. It left me wondering who the h*** approved this script??? This movie could have been so much better had they stuck to the text. The ending scene was even bland because the movie failed to capture the essence of what was happening. Overall I was highly disappointed. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member One of those book-adaptations that aren't as good as the book. Though I enjoyed the book, the film proved slow, boring, and dull. Did enjoy the adherence to the original story, though. 2/5. 2.5 or 3/5 on a good day. Not memorable at all. Also, I just noticed this film was made in 2013. What the hell? It feels like it was a late 90s or 2000s film.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Inspiring. There is nothing negative that I could say about this "pelicula". Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Bless Me, Ultima is a spiritual/religious movie about a old lady that comes back to her family and assists with healing both medical and spiritually. Now when I say medically i mean more like the herbal treatments. The people in town hear of her being there and some of them are grateful and some of them are not so grateful. The movie talks about religion,faith and science and how they all interconnect. The movie and story are well told and the young boy that plays the lead role does a masterful job. This movie does not only accept just the religious side of the argument but also asks questions of the missing pieces. It also discusses that if we dont have science and religion hand in hand then it cannot work. Watch the movie and make up your own mind its well told. It can be too much for the younger audience.
