Carmen G in Colombia
bladexxi22 December 2012
I had the opportunity to see this film in XXIX Festival De cine De Bogota, Carmen G demonstrates the excellent quality of Colombian cinema is being done right now. Carmen G, is a Colombian peasant who flees violence to attack us for so many years here in Colombia, she travels to New York with her baby, with many dreams and illusions. On his first night in New York these dreams and illusions, completely change your life, this is where there is an intense story of a Colombian woman in the United States, which has drama, suspense and some fiction. ********* I recommend this Colombian movie is excellent! It has nothing to do with common Colombian films, contrary has very good photography, music, acting, directing, scripts etc ... I hope to present in Colombia again because it bears repeating.

Film " Carmen G" Excellent !!! Breast Cancer and more...
sebastianreyesllinas20 December 2012
" Carmen G" This is an Independent Film industry work , with a lot of work in sound, color, acting, script and music. The sound is very good and is very appropriate for a theater. The Color in the movie is fantastic. Acting is one of the more important things in any film and in " Carmen G" is very good, for me the work of the leading actress" Pierangeli Llinas" is excellent. The script is very nice with some fiction parts and other very real ( Breast Cancer, Immigration, discrimination and much more) . Finally the music is original very colorful and amazing for an independent film. Amazing piece of art. I recommend this film to anyone who is interested in seeing a high quality independent film, full of emotions and sensations. This is a film that will enrich your life.

Good message
Edgar_r200026 December 2012
The filmmakers showed the tragedy of a person who is in much pain. When someone loses a loved one, they often can't rest, and this was depicted well by displaying Carmen's hurt and confusion. When watching the film, you feel concerned for her well-being every step of the way. And, the entire cast was believable in their depictions.

True Movie
floffyburro8 January 2013
Carmen G is "A true Hispanic film, the movie could be located just about anywhere in Latin America , Is one of the most influential and incendiary World Cinemas !!! Must surely be Latin and Spanish Cinema. Carmem G share a sense of the grittiness of the so called Cinema, this truth movie with a beauty and melodrama which seems to be as much a part of their day to day life .They evoke images of passion, color, and a visual veracity all of their own . the film that most people associate with Latin cinema's it is a sometimes complex work with very emotions .Carmem G is perhaps the film's greatest achievement." Anf one the best,movies ever made..

great indie film
jemjct-31-4296475 January 2013
This is a very good little independent film. The story blew me away, all the way until the end. I wish more big studio films had the sensitivity and story telling ideas this film had. This film reminded me of "Maria Full of grace" an immigrant story set in Jackson heights. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find a film about Colombian immigrants in the U.S that had nothing to do with drug trafficking. The acting was very natural and sincere the lead actress Pierangeli did a wonderful job driving this story. Surrounded by a great supporting cast and most noted a very strong performance from Maria Cecilia Sanchez as (Charon). I would definitely recommend this film. If you are in the mood for a good story with some nice twists all the way until the end, go see this film.

Carmen G
circularmusicvision22 December 2012
" Carmen G" I do believe that many people has a history like that. Means something that is carried out all the life and it makes a crazy fact. The creativity of the screenplay and the effects added for that interesting cast around the protagonist, with people from several countries from different countries and cultures, makes a multi cultural encounter around the creativity. The sound and the music is appropriate and also shows a multicultural performance making it very rich. The Color and the photography in the movie looks nice.

I went to a theater looking for entertaining and I found "Carmen G" a little sad but all the time under the drama, with reflections around social behavior which made it interesting, so I do recommend you to fallow where is going to be next "Carmen G" in theaters, this time was in Los Angeles at Norwalk where I enjoy this one.

Good for the Independent Filmmakers!

Carmen G (Drama, Fiction)
sr413431526 March 2013
Carmen G is a very good movie. This movie has drama, fiction and a great social message, (Breast Cancer, Immigration). I think that is a very good movie. I think a is reality, with a bit of fiction. It has a excellent cast and very talented protagonist, made ​​me laugh and cry several times. I see his transformation gradually. The movie has very good shots of New York and photography. It has a very clear message, about immigration and the difficulties that illegal immigrants suffer. I believe that is an eye opener for many who do not know the suffering of illegals immigrants in U.S.A.

I recommend it to everyone.
