Surprised...
That not that many people have seen or even heard of this movie. I lived in Mexico for a couple of years and you'd think they would be interested in a movie that has a very strong theme between mexican and mexican-american culture, but to my surprise they weren't.
I don't mean it as anything bad it's just that to me, this is one of those movies that grows on you, and it's funny how underrated it is. Personally i love it and i feel it displays it's themes quite adequately and above all, realistically.
