      Katie Rife RogerEbert.com Mija weaves a more nuanced emotional tapestry than is typically seen in immigration stories like this one. Rated: 3/4 Aug 5, 2022 Full Review Beandrea July New York Times Poetic in its musicality yet rooted in the mundane, “Mija” sheds fresh light on the longings of a new generation of Mexican Americans making music that reflects the nuances of their realities on both sides of the border. Aug 4, 2022 Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman TheWrap The film’s best scenes are, in a way, the flip side to its weaker ones: the closeness between Castro and her subjects lessens their objectivity but strengthens their intimacy. Aug 3, 2022 Full Review Morgan Rojas Cinemacy An emotionally compelling film that asks the rhetorical question: Who is allowed to dream? Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 28, 2023 Full Review Jason Flatt But Why Tho? A Geek Community While I wish the music industry parts of Doris’s life felt a little more central in the documentary’s presentation, knowing how clearly central to her life it is, [Mija] as a whole is still strong and deeply moving. Rated: 8/10 Jan 4, 2023 Full Review Sandie Angulo Chen Common Sense Media Ultimately, this film is a tribute to how, as the Hamilton lyrics say, "immigrants get the job done," especially in industries where they have to be scrappy, smart, and tenacious to thrive.
