DVD Review: ‘Entre Nos’ Touchingly Pays Tribute to Motherhood
Submitted by mattmovieman on July 26, 2010 - 10:45amCHICAGO – Some art house films are political polemics disguised as personal stories. “Entre Nos” is not one of them. Though its DVD includes a PSA on immigration reform, and comes packaged with a label exclaiming, “One of Michael Moore’s 20 ‘Best Pictures of 2009,’” the film itself does not have a message to preach. It’s a tale of people rather than ideas, and is all the more effective because of it.
