Review For Bless Me, Ultima
The lyrical book is filled with touches of magical realism. On the other hand, the movie is sorely lacking in both magic and realism. It's all very empty and blah. Randy Cordova-Arizona Republic An offbeat slice of Americana will intrigue thoughtful moviegoers. Stephen Farber-Hollywood Reporter Theater firebrand and big-screen presence Miriam Colon portrays Ultima with a minimum of fuss and a gorgeous supply of elder authority. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post Writer-director Carl Franklin offers up a tone of heightened reverence that weighs down the material, but there are small, lovely moments when the magic realism approaches the magical. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor A deeply satisfying feat of storytelling, "Bless Me, Ultima" makes a difficult task look easy. Kenneth Turan-Los Angeles Times Here's a coming-of-age movie that feels both generic and personal. John Hartl-Seattle Times It knows exactly what kind of film it is -- unfortunately, what kind of film it is, is an unimaginatively directed coming-of-age tale with hardly any narrative momentum. Mike Scott-Times-Picayune a profound story told in a deceptively simple way. Deceptive, but curiously suitable for a film about identity, belief, and the nature both good and evil in all their guises. Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews Based on the novel of the same name by Rudolfo Anaya, "Bless Me, Ultima" is a magical compilation of family, life, death, religion and the meaning of it all. Jeanne Kaplan-Kaplan vs. Kaplan "Bless Me, Ultima" is a beautifully photographed film, but it has a lot of problems...sketchy character development, but the bigger issue is the film's disjointed flow. David Kaplan-Kaplan vs. Kaplan The choice to include a ponderous narration violates that basic rule of storytelling: Show rather than tell. John Wirt-Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA) Bless Me, Ultima creates a wholly original coming of age story by blending mysticism with conventional Catholicism. Christian Toto-Big Hollywood Although Bless Me, Ultima can feel a bit overstuffed, it's an honest and naturalistic kids' story about growing up Mexican-American. Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle There's a bit of a cable-movie feel to 'Bless Me, Ultima,' but in the end its sincerity and willingness to address big issues...make it an admirable attempt to bring an important piece of Chicano literature to the screen. Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion Its very existence in a godforsaken marketplace is a minor miracle. Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch The material calls out for a more expressive cinematographic treatment. Had the film been less antiseptic and more bold in its visuals and the emotional depths of its performances, it could have been a classic; instead, it's a rather ordinary indie. Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews Shamelessly earnest and absurdly shallow ... tiptoes around questions of faith and runs away from any incident that might push someone in the other direction. Matt Pais-RedEye
