Movies: Language Lessons, Blue Bayou, Cry Macho

Movie 1: Language Lessons

This is a fascinating and unique film. Initially tragic, it incrementally blossoms into a heartwarming story, sometimes funny, sometimes bittersweet. Ultimately a melodrama that offers much more. Spanish and English with subtitles.

Movie 2 Blue Bayou

WOW! This is a powerful story about immigration, family, perseverance. Some elements of the story are based on real events (i.e., US immigration policy between 2001-2009). Often painful to watch but ultimately touching.

Movie 3: Cry Macho

Clint Eastwood is “Back”! It’s described as a neo-Western drama. It’s based on the 1975 novel of the same name. After over 10 years in development it was released with “under performing results”. We liked it and found it more than satisfying.
