Reviews in brief May 1, 2009
This sets "Sin Nombre" apart from "El Norte" or "Maria Full of Grace," two of the most vivid movies ever released about the illegal immigrant experience ...

Movie Review: Sin Nombre Apr 3, 2009
Although the migrant experience has been detailed onscreen before, most notably in El Norte (1983), Joshua Marston's Maria Full of Grace (2004) and Patricia Riggen's 2008 film La Misma Luna, very few have shown it in all the terrifying and exhilarating detail that Sin Nombre brings to the table. It's a wonderful film and a stunning debut for writer/director Fukanaga. (Suite101.com)
