Review of Under the Same Moon (2007) by Carrie S — 30 Jan 2010
4/13/08: An understated tearjerker of a film about Carlitos, a 9-year old Mexican boy desparately trying to reunite with his mother Rosario, who has been working illegally in Los Angeles. Adrian Alonso plays the role of Carlitos with conviction â?? a fine performance, truly believable.
In addition to the story of the unbreakable bond between a mother and her son, this movie illuminates the hot-button issue of illegal immigration in America from a heartfelt perspective. One of my favorite characters in the film is Enrique (played by Eugenio Derbez, one of Mexicoâ??s best-known actors)â??Enrique is an undocumented day laborer who reluctantly helps Carlitos get to East LA and finds redemption in the process.
