Millions of Mexican women illegally emigrate to the United States each year, and at least four million of them leave children behind in Mexico. That statistic is even more heartbreaking when you realize the life they find when they come here: poor-paying jobs, few legal rights, and a constant fear that immigration services will arrest or deport them..
La Misma Luna/Under the Same Moon treats this reality with a huge dollop of sentimentality, telling the unlikely story of a young boy who crosses the border to find his mother, living in Los Angeles. The movie takes place in a world in which most strangers mean well and kind hearts win out over harsh reality, but it also takes care to explore the manifold challenges of simply existing in this country as an illegal immigrant. La Misma Luna has no political agenda other than to advocate compassion for all, but its careful consideration of a tricky situation puts it a touch above a straight-up melodrama.”*
