A Must See
PostedApril 12, 2010
love2day
from Los Angeles, CA
I heard a lot of buzz about this movie while it was making the festival circuits and saw it twice this past weekend. Even after the second viewing, the film was still able to carry me on the same emotional journey I experienced during the first viewing.
I won't give away too much about it, but the film is essentially about a father and son's relationship as they try to reconcile their differences through their struggles with coming to terms with themselves and their community.
Few films are able to successfully depict communities of color in such an authentic and raw way but La Mission succeeds and does so with flying colors. It's one of the best films that I've seen in a long time with a great story, compelling and memorable characters, and the cinematography is beautiful. The film also displays some of the best acting I've seen and is worthy of a few Academy Award nominations.
A definite must see.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
