Reviews

"August Evening" is a slow-paced, quiet family drama set in the community of Mexican immigrants in San Antonio. Jaime, an undocumented worker in his late sixties, lives in a spare house in the countryside with his wife Maria and their young widowed daughter-in-law, Lupe.

This my favorite independent film of 2008. Stunning photography, beautiful storytelling, powerful emotional resonance...
