Movie Reviews

Reviews:
"With almost Malickian impressionistic flair and a stealthily innovative mix of fictional and nonfictional elements, I CARRY YOU WITH ME pulls you past its shortcomings, building toward a hushed stunner of a conclusion." - 01/26/2020 Hollywood Reporter


"[T]he love story of Ivan and Gerardo is an important one, and by sharing it, Ewing brings attention to the challenges facing LGBTQ people in Mexico, encouraging empathy for those who feel compelled to flee to the U.S. in order to live openly." - 02/12/2020 Variety


3 stars out of 4 -- "Ewing brings her documentary sensibility to the table here, and her collaborator in this is the uber-talented Mexican cinematographer Juan Pablo Ramírez." - 06/25/2021 RogerEbert.com


"Ewing’s evocative storytelling style takes an immigration narrative shared by many undocumented people and gives it the intimate, relatable texture of everyday life." - 06/25/2021 A.V. Club


"Turning time and memory into an elliptical portrait of what it means when borders become barriers, I CARRY YOU WITH ME, the first narrative feature from the documentary filmmaker Heidi Ewing, trades distance for empathy." - 06/24/2021 New York Times


"[A] mix of re-creations, portraiture, and poetry that goes far beyond a typical nonfiction tale of enduring hardship and matters of the heart." - 06/30/2021 Rolling Stone


"Ewing joins a generation of filmmakers who are using every piece of cinematic grammar available to communicate the emotional core of their stories and characters..." - 12/28/2021 Washington Post
