I Carry You With Me

An amazing story, beautifully acted and a mastery produced. So proud of being Latino. Thank you for making this film.

I think this is a great movie. Beautifully told. Quietly but powerfully romantic. This should be way more noticed than it has been. POSSIBLE SPOILER: It ends well (mostly) but it's tense getting there

Great Movie covering equality hardship and gay love. A shout out to Harding Junior a talented actor playing a US consulate who needs to be recognised further. An emotive film which shows real prejudice and the challenges of love.

What an incredible film with so much heart. You can feel the spirit of this movie and it's both heart wrenching and inspiring at the same time. I found myself in awe of the journey I was taken on. What a beautiful film. Beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to see such a display.

It's a very moving story - a beautiful love story and a familiar (but difficult) story of the will to make a better life for yourself and those you love - the so-called "American Dream." Best of all, it's based on the true story of the protagonists. I loved it!

I Carry You With Me is a beautiful meditation on love and hope and nationhood. Based on the true life stories of Ivan and Gerardo the film blends in real life footage to heighten the emotional impact. Told over may years we follow Ivan as a young man meeting Gerardo in Mexico and falling in love. But their love is forbidden in a conservative nation. Ivan also has a young child in a relationship that rings false. Eventually he leaves Mexico to start a new life. He settles in New York and begins his dream of becoming a chef. Eventually Gerardo joins him but even though their life is great they can't return to Mexico nor see Ivan's son. This superb film has a beautifully contemplative nature, one of serenity and joy and love and also heartbreak. A small wonder of a film.

Heidi Ewing specializes in documentary films, but her 1st narrative feature is an incredible debut in which she relies on some doc techniques to give the movie authenticity. A powerful love story that takes a turn and makes the film super real. One thing that took me out of the picture, was the narration which sometimes is more dreamlike than realistic. The jumping back and forth can be confusing, but it's used in a way that ties the film's third act together. The two actors playing the leads, Armando Espitia and Christian Vázquez have a wonderful chemistry. These are the issues that immigrants face and the fact it's based on a true story makes it that much more genuine. Heartfelt, yet quietly intense the third act almost entirely feels like you could be watching a documentary feature! Don't be afraid of subtitles if Spanish isn't your language, this is worth the time! Final Score: 8.2/10

A gay love between two men at the height of homophobia in Mexico and takes you on a journey that culminates in New York City, is a fantastic look into the personal lives of two men who fell in love!!!

This movie was fantastic. There are so many fantastic themes and storylines that are told within this film, and none of them feel superfluous. It's a beautiful piece about love, homosexuality, family dynamics, immigration, the American dream, and love of country. The imagery paints a beautiful picture of Mexico, New York City, and the people who have chosen both as their home. I plan on rewatching this film soon, and I'll probably annoy my friends with how much I talk about this movie.

A poem of a film, visually and in the narrators words....a love story, an immigarnt story..powerful and moving and relatable to anyone who has left the past and people and dreams behind. Very emotional....the films I like the most carry a mood, this one brought me wistfulness, longing and tears. Beautifully shot
