Review For Movie Bless Me, Ultima

Aassured, sensitive, and commendably unpretentious.
Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader

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

... bogged down by its deliberate pace, reliance on Catholic symbolism, and its one-dimensional characters.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com

[Director Carl] Franklin is sensitive to the way boys interact, bump chests, bicker, and bond-just as he is to how adults justify their hypocrisy and excuse their failures.
Sean Axmaker-Seattle Weekly

Erring only slightly on the Hallmark side.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express

The low-level magical realism never gels with the coming-of-age drama.
Jamie S. Rich-Oregonian

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
