1. ...wears its heart on its sleeve but you can forgive it for its schmarm.
2. This American Tail for the Lou Dobbs era probably shouldn't work as well as it does, but even we hardened film critics can get a little mushy sometimes.
3. First-time director Patricia Riggen uses parallel story lines to tell the mother's and son's tales -- mom looks for her next job while the boy evades immigration workers, druggies and perverts.
4. An endearingly sweet fable about a hotly debated subject.
5. The power of the mother-son bond is given tender-hearted treatment in Under The Same Moon, an impressive first feature from Mexican filmmaker Patricia Riggen.
6. This kid is so plucky and cute and charming, it's impossible not to fall in love with him.
7. Under the Same Moon (La Misma Luna) is the nightmare Lou Dobbs has when he goes to sleep at night.
8. Maudlin and melodramatic when it doesn't need to be, but insightful and engaging when it counts, Under the Same Moon represents both the best and worst of the revelatory road trip narrative.
9. A story that's too cute, too corny and too contrived.
10. If Under the Same Moon is formula melodrama, the film is well acted and its lead character perceptively drawn.
What is the consensus?
If Under the Same Moon is often manipulative, it is also heartfelt, and features strong performances from its leads.
1. ...har sitt hjärta på ärmen men du kan förlåta den för dess schmarm. 2. Den här amerikanska svansen för Lou Dobbs-eran borde nog inte fungera lika bra som den gör, men även vi härdade filmkritiker kan bli lite mosiga ibland. 3. Förstagångsregissören Patricia Riggen använder parallella berättelserader för att berätta moderns och sonens sagor -- mamma letar efter sitt nästa jobb medan pojken undviker immigrationsarbetare, knarkare och perversa. 4. En ömsint söt fabel om ett hett omdebatterat ämne. 5. Kraften i moder-son-bandet ges ömhjärtad behandling i Under The Same Moon, ett imponerande första inslag från den mexikanska filmaren Patricia Riggen. 6. Den här killen är så petig, söt och charmig, att det är omöjligt att inte bli kär i honom. 7. Under samma måne (La Misma Luna) är den mardröm Lou Dobbs har när han somnar på natten. 8. Maudlin och melodramatiskt när det inte behöver vara, men insiktsfullt och engagerande när det räknas, Under samma måne representerar både det bästa och det värsta av den revertalistiska road trip-berättelsen. 9. En historia som är för söt, för töntig och för påhittad. 10. Om Under Samemånen är formelmelodram är filmen väl agerad och dess huvudrollsperson perceptivt tecknad. Vad är samförståndet?
