Audience Member This is a beautifully made film that lets the audience experience the plight of families affected by deportation. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The fictionalized journey of two children in search of their undocumented mother, who is being deported back to Mexico, is an amazing poetic rendering of the emotional turmoil associated with the loss of a parent and primal force of reconnecting. The story weaves through the bewildering inhumanity of deportation and the power of love that reveals the surprising good will, lingering in the shadows, making for a very unique and compelling road movie. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent, very thought-provoking work. It is beautifully filmed and wonderfully acted, particularly for a project with such a modest budget. One can sympathize with all of the characters, even as they clash with each other. I particularly appreciated the fact that none of the immigration-related agents are portrayed as malevolent; rather, they are just doing their jobs in a very flawed, overwhelmed system. It is particularly noteworthy that this film was largely written and filmed in 2016, before the current presidential administration. I fear how much worse things must have become for undocumented residents of the U.S. since then. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A very moving and thought provoking film about the real life circumstances of deportation of parents of American children. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie teaches a lot about the steps in the immigration process that become secretive and untoward. Beautiful story line, very sad to watch, and very relevant in our current context in the US. Highly recommend. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Collisions is a movie, not a documentary, but the actors are so natural it makes you feel like it's a documentary. If you'd like a better understanding of what immigrants go through, both documented and undocumented, see this movie. Well written, unpredictable and engaging from beginning to end, you'll come away with a deeper understanding and empathy for today's immigrants. (My grandparents all immigrated from Sweden in the early 1900's.) Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
