A close-range film about distance, the short, poignant documentary “I’m Leaving Now” unfolds like a character study. Read full review

The blurring of the lines between fiction and fact still mostly feels like a crutch or an affectation. It's as if Cordero and Croda are trying to goose the drama rather than unearth it, never entirely trusting that Felipe's life is interesting enough as is. Read full review

En tan sólo 75 minutos, la rutina diaria de un trabajador mexicano en Nueva York refleja la difícil vida que llevan los inmigrantes, en particular con el dilema de cuando por necesidad deben volver a su tierra. Uno de los recientes aciertos del cine documental mexicano.
