      harrison r Really enjoyed this, and glad they kept it pretty true to reality. Great acting, great set design, editing, direction, and of course filming during Hurricane Sandy turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

      Amy Taubin Film Comment Magazine A New York movie as surprising and inventive in showing us the city through the eyes of a runaway boy as Morris Engel's Little Fugitive must have seemed to audiences in 1953. Aug 28, 2019 Full Review J. Hoberman ARTINFO.com The sub working-class, Latino milieu shades more exotic than authentic, but the cast is terrific, the movie is extremely well-shot up close and personal. Feb 25, 2019 Full Review Drew Hunt Chicago Reader The director's view of the wider world is flat and schematic; the mother's dealings with an indifferent school district, the ineffectual police, and her aloof ex-husband lack complexity, and the maudlin tone overwhelms any social insight. Jul 17, 2014 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com The cast is mostly comprised of non-professional actors, a fact that seems to give the film an air of authenticity. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Sep 24, 2020 Full Review Pat Padua Spectrum Culture Reveals the breadth of human behavior and experience as one in which dysfunction is a matter of degree as much as the DSM-V. Rated: 2.75/5 Aug 31, 2018 Full Review Robin Clifford Reeling Reviews Mariana and Ricky's stories develop separately but are solidly linked by a mother's love for her child. Rated: B Feb 16, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews
