Kyle Turner New York Times Struggling to engage with Luis Miranda on his own terms, the film queasily documents Luis's assistance in making his son's work a success. Oct 7, 2020 Full Review Tomris Laffly RogerEbert.com It feels like two enormous but curiously unfinished movies are trapped inside Siempre, Luis, competing with each other for the audience's attention. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 7, 2020 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety The celebrated composer's father gets a showcase of his own political achievements, but John James' oddly structured doc tries to please the Hamilton crowd too. Oct 7, 2020 Full Review Rosa Parra In Their Own League "Siempre, Luis" is an inspirational story about a Latino who has positively impacted his community as well as his family, and these types of stories deserve to be known. Rated: 4/5 Dec 28, 2020 Full Review Kiko Martinez San Antonio Current [Luis Miranda's] work ethic is both inspiring and exhausting, and Siempre, Luis, only proves that Act Three will be his strongest yet. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 25, 2020 Full Review Linda and Al Lerner Movies and Shakers The structure of the film jumps around a lot, kind of like Luis himself, whose energy is infectious. Director James shows Luis Miranda as always engaged, articulate, animated, exciting and, as the director will likely admit, exhausting. Oct 13, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
