Reviews for this film from our members:
- [New – 2/21] | David Bax @ Battleship Pretension
- Excerpt: Deep as these issues run, Franklin does them an unfortunate disservice by showcasing them in such a flat and artless presentation. With the occasional exception, such as a startling shot of an owl descending quickly toward the camera, talons first, the film disappointingly fulfills much of the stereotype of the made for TV movie aesthetic.
- [New – 2/22] | Jamie S. Rich @ Oregon Live
- Excerpt: Bless Me, Ultima is a well-meaning multicultural fable that gets lost in its own myopic point-of-view. Working from a novel by Rudolfo Anaya , writer/director Carl Franklin (“One False Move,” “Devil in a Blue Dress”) promises a peek into the myths and traditions of an under-represented culture — in this case, Mexican immigrants living in New Mexico during WWII.
- [New – 2/21] | Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: Its sincerity and willingness to address big issues–even if not always satisfactorily–make it an admirable attempt to bring an important piece of Chicano literature to the screen.
