Review of American Me (1992) by Peter Travers for Rolling Stone — 08 Jun 2017
Olmos is unsparing in depicting the dark side of human behavior. His in-your-face style stresses the urgency of a situation most of us choose to ignore. Though powerful, the film is sometimes preachy; there's a sense that information is being disseminated instead of dramatized.
But it's hard to believe anyone will remain unmoved by American Me or its final shattering image of human desolation.
