A small, personal, independently made film with the sweep of El Norte, with solid, sympathetic performances by unknown actors and a visual style of astonishing vibrancy, must be regarded as a remarkable accomplishment. [11 Jan 1984, p.15]
When it comes time to paint a view of Southern California from the perspective of outsiders looking in and expecting miracles, Nava's touch is marvelously sure, the satirical edge all covered in chrome. Nava's is the kind of talent that a low budget cannot hide. [30 Mar 1984, p.D6]

This movie is a must see for all humanity. A beautiful and passionate film about living, bravery , and courage.

Way overrated. Just because it is a foreign film released in the US does not mean it should get high scores. Anyway, the movie is over dramatic and leans ton heavily on melodrama.
