The film does a good job illustrating how we don't always see one another and how our perspectives can be so different of how we see the same events.

IN A NUTSHELL: COME FIND ME is a beautiful, uplifting story about a Latina mother and daughter facing major life changes and how their love challenges and inspires them. Veteran TV actors Sol Miranda and Victoria Cartagena shine in their first lead feature roles giving two tour de force performances in their portrayals of a mother and daughter striving to connect, belong, and search for meaning.The first half of the movie follows Christina and then it jumps forward two years as we watch her wedding from the point of view of her mother, Gloria, a recently retired and widowed public school principal.The film stars Sol Miranda (Archive 81, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) and Victoria Cartagena (Manifest, Batwoman) and has great featured performances from 4-time Tony nominee Tovah Feldshuh and Alice Lee (Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist).The movie is directed and written by Daniel Poliner.THINGS I LIKED: The cast featured a lot of strong women, including Victoria Cartagena, Sol Miranda, Tovah Feldshuh, Sue Jean Kim, and Heidi Armbruster.I loved the symbolic imagery of a light shining brightly out of someone's chest.The casting for the younger version of Christina was very good. She and the older Christina looked alike!I always enjoy seeing Tovah Feldshuh in movies. She also served as one of the Associate Producers for the movie.The film does a good job illustrating how we don't always see one another and how our perspectives can be so different of how we see the same events.THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: There are some things that happen that are a bit confusing. We're not always sure what's real, memories, or hallucinations. We see scenes unfold in one way and then we relive them with new information that adds to our understanding.The timeline bounces back and forth, which can also be confusing. It felt like a true woman's experience where memories flash before you while you're living in a different moment.It's a slow burn.Some might be disappointed, thinking something bigger is going to happen.TIPS FOR PARENTS: Kids will be very bored.Spanish is spoken, sometimes with subtitles, but sometimes without.A single woman gets pregnant.Talk of death and cancer.To see my full review, go to my YouTube channel called Movie Review Mom!

complex and nuanced - worth a second watch

Outstanding cinematography, and finely crafted storyline with multiple flashbacks. Actors are very believable and real - and the settings carefully selected to leave you feeling very much like this takes place in The City without bashing you over the head with typical landmarks (the school scenes in particular will resonate with educators!). The work/life tensions are key to the plot and well described from the start without excessive dialog or overtly throwing audience a bone. This is not your typical relationship movie - much more to it than that. The screenwriter and director, Poliner, has a very intuitive feel for character development and dialog which never feels forced or manufactured. Loved it and will watch it again!
