Undocumented (Sin papeles) (2023)
Strong and risky
Undocumented An entertaining, intriguing, strong, dynamic film that shows a reality, of someone who wants to achieve "the American dream."
Good setting, beautiful landscapes, if it is worth highlighting how hard the work is both in the driest and most arid environment, as well as in the snow.
Characters with relevant acting quality. The plot is well focused, in order to search for a dream without stopping thinking about the family and what they left behind to move forward.
The musicalization according to the development of the film, the dialogues with emotion, where the issue of entering the United States without documentation and the vulnerability of people in search of an opportunity are clearly discussed.
In the filming, the abuse of both men and women, poor treatment, and precarious housing is clearly visualized. Just for being undocumented. In addition to showing an electronic ankle shackle how risky it is, if you have to experience something like that.
It is an interesting film, it makes you reflect on how strong and risky it is when someone makes the decision to embark on an adventure of such magnitude, leaving family and a whole story behind, without the certainty of whether it will work out or not and perhaps you may even lose the life in the attempt. It keeps you expectant as it develops.
The movie was short for me.
