Oct 22, 2024The director did a good job creating moments where the audience could breathe. Spoiler alerts coming so heads up. This is a intense thriller that follows a young boy Jesus as he tries to escape from a sweatshop in downtown LA. It's violent and scary, but the truth isn't always rainbows. I'm sure if you have read some of the other reviews it talks about this films intensity, but there are also some beautiful moments. The relationship between Ari Lopez and Renata Vaca really show the power of support from another human being. I'm glad that this was incorporated into the film. Overall it was a good watch.

Oct 22, 2024I'm at a complete loss of words after watching this film. It kept me up all night and thinking. I couldn't stop imagining kids all over the world who had no voice and were at the mercy of traffickers. It made me sick to my stomach to find out how kids are treated in sweatshops. A majority of people will probably react the same way I did which is the point of the film. I did some research and found out that this is the director's first movie. It's a pretty daring subject to tackle and it could have gone in many other directions, but he made a film the definitely hits you emotionally. Visually it is also stunning.
