Marisol dared to tackle the subjects of racism and immigration and succeeded in every way, bringing out of the shadows something that a lot of people like to pretend doesn’t exist.

The result is powerful, if marred at times by the script’s more melodramatic turns.

NYC Movie Guru

Overstuffed, undercooked and clunky, but elevated by Esmeralda Camargo's genuinely heartfelt performance.

By focusing the story on the experience of an undocumented female teenager in America, the film lends a new, refreshing angle to a familiar topic.

A pointless movie. Low budget movie that feels low budget. story is all over the place and it is not a good representation of what illegal teenagers go through in the US.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
