Critic Reviews
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
I don't require acceptance and reconciliation, and La Mission is forthright in avoiding easy answers. But does the screenplay shortchange Che by painting him more broadly at the film's end than he seemed at the beginning?
-
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
The problem is that the screenplay to La Mission should never have gone before the cameras in this condition.
-
Rex Reed, New York Observer
Observing the phases both father and son endure as they try to forgive and prioritize in order to survive makes La Mission a poignant and unusual film, one that you won't soon forget.
-
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
The movie might suffice on late-night cable, but it is hardly worth big-screen prices.
-
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
Benjamin Bratt brings his A-game to a difficult, potentially clichéd role.
