      Andy Webster New York Times Left with pacing, composition and atmosphere, and scenes with the children in particular (Sebastian Villada Lopez and Laura Montana Cortez, each remarkable) have charm and authenticity. Rated: 4/5 May 14, 2010 Full Review Time Out Rated: 2/5 Jan 1, 1800 Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post Rated: 3/4 Jan 1, 1800 Full Review Roger Moore Movie Nation The lack of big twists or even deeper dives into despair park this film in the area of cinematic comfort food. But "Entres Nos (Between Us)" like the characters it portrays, wins you over with its warmth, its pluck and its optimism Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 1, 2021 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com It's hard not to marvel at Mendoza's ability to tell her mother's story from the perspectives of daughter, filmmaker, and actress. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Sep 7, 2020 Full Review Joanne Laurier World Socialist Web Site Entre Nos pays attention to the lives of the poor and disenfranchised, and in the process, touches upon the human cost of the government's cruel vendetta against immigrants.

      SONIA L I just watched this beautifully written and directed film. The acting is stellar across the board. Filled with heart and soul, the filmmakers capture the struggles of a single mom trying to make it in America. The editing is perfectly brings to life the colorful sounds and music of NYC. This is a must see movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/24 Full Review Audience Member I found this pretty boring and slow and I didn't care too much Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Muy buena pelicula Colombiana! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A very heart-felt and authentic film made even more authentic by the fact that it's based on a true story. As far as biopics go, this film seems to take the genre to another level, as the creator and main actress tells the story of her family's most tumultuous period beginning just two weeks after coming to Queens, NY from Columbia. The ending credits tell it best so I won't spoil it, but what I will say is that one of the film's best qualities is the raw expression of the dance between suffering and hope, failure and success. With each win no matter how small there was always the potential for great loss always gnawing at this family. The mother's love and commitment to her children was the glue that kept them together through some immensely trying times. If nothing else, the film is a testament to the enduring power of family love and a courageous spirit. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Powerfull message. Tremendous human spirit. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A bittersweet movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
