Press
"...Deft with pacing, composition and atmosphere, and scenes with the children in particular (Sebastian Villada Lopez and Laura Montana Cortez, each remarkable) have charm and authenticity"
-Andy Webster, THE NEW YORK TIMES
"Mendoza gives a heart-tugging performance..."
-V.A. Musetto, NEW YORK POST
"This film may seem little on the outside, but it contains powerful humanity and deep empathy."

The Fight to Survive
written by alyssa on Jun 10th, 2011read all my reviews
this review is from: Entre Nos
Entre Nos is a very touching story about a Columbian woman struggling to survive in New York with her two kids after her husband left her. The movie is based on a true story and displays the extreme courage and strength of Mariana Mendoza as she fights to keep whats left of her family together without a job or a home in a country who's language she does not know.

A True Survival Story
written by sal on May 25th, 2011read all my reviews
this review is from: Entre Nos
Paola Mendoza's extraordinarily beautiful film "Entre Nos" is more than just a story of survival. It is a moving tribute to her mother, who upon arriving in America for the very first time, was abandoned by her husband, and left alone to care for her two young children with no money, no work, and no place to call home.
As the story unfolds, each heartbreaking turn--eviction, sleeping on park benches, collecting cans to pay for food--pushes you closer to the edge. Will this family make it to the other side of such hardship?
The performances of Mendoza, who plays her mother, and her two children played by Laura Montana Cortez and Sebastian Villada Lopez drive this film. Words can say plenty, but it is the passion and chemistry of these three remarkable actors that make "Entre Nos" so triumphant.
