Genre: Drama

Rated: US: PG 13
One of the heart winning story I have come across recently is 'La Misma Luna'. Its a beautiful film about affection, emotion, struggle and most importantly... Love. La Misma Luna states the immigration problem which is generally suffered by Mexican citizens who somehow manage to immigrate to USA for a better life for their kids and family. This is a story about a mother and a child whose lives, in this struggle to survive, torn apart. But do they win this war against the suffering? Watch and find out.
Whatever your favorite genre is, this movie will not disappoint you because 'La Misma Luna' has a strong plot which has been beautifully crafted by the actors. Also this movie gives a social message and gives you an opportunity to understand how difficult the life of people and their families are who immigrate to US in search of a better life.
La Misma Luna is a worth to see drama which will leave you heart melted and if you, somehow, fall for this movie, it will make you cry. And if you don't find tears in your eyes, try to feel the emotional touch around you, and you will know how beautiful this movie has been, for you, and for the people who have been watching it with you.
My Recommendation: Watch it, for this movie has been beautifully made. It surely is a heart winner.

One of the finest non-English movie I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteThe bonding and love between the son and the mother is really very touching and also the movie very well depicts the struggle and risks she took to raise her only child.
A must to watch movie.
