I Carry You with Me
horizontal line

[Opens July 2 at Landmark Theater.] Heidi Ewing's compelling, moving, bittersweet, factually inspired, well-acted, 111-minute, 2020 film, which offers insights into the power and personal costs of ambition, the damage to individual lives stemming from some aspects of U.S immigration policy, and the continuing cruelty occurring to those with non-traditional sexual preferences, and is highlighted by wonderful cinematography and told primarily in flashbacks as it follows the struggles of an ambitious, gay Mexican restaurant employee (Armando Espitia) who decides to leave his teaching assistant lover (Christian Vázquez), parents (Ángeles Cruz and Raúl Briones), ex-wife (Michelle González), and young son (Paco Luna) to cross the border with his best friend (Michelle Rodríguez) into the United States to fulfill his dream of being a chef and ends up struggling in New York City to survive and get his big break.
