This film really captures the rhythm of life in NYC's Sunset Park neighborhood. So many Mexicans live here, Mexican cities and towns have their own futbol teams. Of course, they are simultaneously fighting the social and economic inequities immigrants in the US suffer. Best part are the subtitles, in English of course, but also in Spanish, as a lot of the dialog is in indigenous languages. Really real!

This movie, filmed entirely on location in Brooklyn, N.Y., depicts the lives of people "we" -- we being middle- and upper-class U.S. citizens -- see everyday and who are nonetheless all but invisible to us. Both its humor and its politics are gently stated. It's reminiscent of Ramin Bahrani's series of portrayals of working-class life (Chop Shop, Man Push Cart, Goodbye Solo). My only quibble is with its distribution: In New York City you can currently see it at BAM Rose and one other arthouse, but it really deserves to be screened at a theater in the neighborhood where it was filmed -- or better yet shown outdoors on a summer night in Sunset Park!

Charming film that does an excellent job of putting you in the shoes of others. Simple plot, but the cinematography and excellent use of non-actors made it all work.
