I was really impressed. It's a bolder film than you might expect and the music is really good Go to Full Review
Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Oct 6, 2026
A bold, timely, unconventional and heartfelt, but somewhat overlong, sugar-coated and clunky musical drama about empathy, compassion, tolerance and finding common ground. Go to Full Review

See more Pat F @patricia956 6 days ago This movie is especially meaningful and needed at this time in our country’s history. I have never felt such deep division over the issue of immigration. I truly appreciated the thoughtful script and beautiful music. I wish more people would watch this film. My hope is that it will soften hearts and help people see the humanity in these wonderful, hardworking individuals who are simply seeking a safe place to live and build a better future for their families. See more Betty W @Beppie1955 6 days ago This is probably the most inspirational movie I have ever seen. The music was amazing, the actors were awesome. At first I wondered why I came to see this movie and then all of a sudden I got pulled into the story. I was able to relate to the story, I cried on how people were treated and I totally learned a lesson to love all those around me no matter what nationality or language they spoke. We certainly should love and respect everyone. Thanks to Ross Boothe that he had the inspiration to be able to share this story with all of us. See more Elizabeth T @Anntakasaki 6 days ago You must see this production. You see our society through the eyes of those who come to America with hope for a better and safer life. It opens your eyes to see one’s own prejudice, and opens your heart to want to be a kinder, more compassionate person. It was beautiful. See more Mark T @RT66444710 6 days ago Well-made film so applicable for our day and time! We need more kindness and humanity in our society and this film can lead the way to understanding and healing which can help our country right now! Music and acting were superb! Please make this film go Nationwide! It is so needed! See more Melissa R @Melissar82 6 days ago It is such a powerful movie. It left me feeling inspired and emotional, but most importantly, it made me want to be a better person. It reminded me that so many people around us are facing challenges we may know nothing about, and sometimes, a little kindness, understanding and support can make a bigger difference than we realize. I recommend it 100% See more Read all reviews
