      100% Tomatometer 7 Reviews In Laredo, a city in southern Texas on the Mexican border, best friends Silvia and Beba know that the long summer nights of their youth cannot last forever. Their hang-out spots are so familiar but, stuck in an immigration process over which deportation hangs as a constant possibility, home still seems a fragile concept. Between bars, drive-thrus, friends' couches and the borderlands, they confront the stresses of survival, the future, and community building. For them, this means protest action for legal abortion and against border control abuses, in a politically divided America. But the dusty half-light is also a time for poetry and dreams. Their laughter and creative expression cement a sense of solidarity and belonging in togetherness. Read More Read Less

      Sheri Linden Hollywood Reporter Has the sheen of summertime fun and the bright energy of creative focus for besties who are smart and terrifically likable. Apr 6, 2023 Full Review Jason Gorber RogerEbert.com It’s simply fun to hang out with the two and their circle, warmed by their moments of grace and awkwardness. It’s a film of deep honesty that’s carefully crafted, one of the best films of this ilk I’ve seen Rated: A- Mar 9, 2023 Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Hammer to Nail They make quite a pair, and despite the worry expressed early on that “if you record something, you are more likely to forget it,” the two are always memorable. No one watching will be able to stop thinking about them anytime soon. Aug 22, 2023 Full Review Sarah Manvel Critic's Notebook “Hummingbirds” is told from the inside, with the decision made to keep the imperfections in; and its considerable charm is due to that rawness. Mar 18, 2023 Full Review Abby Olcese The Pitch Perfectly captures the spontaneous joy and lazy, meandering conversations of warm summer nights in young adulthood when time seems both limitless and fleetingly tender. Silvia and Estefanía are human fireworks who you’ll fall in love with. Mar 11, 2023 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest A refreshing coming-of-age story in which it becomes far less important what [its characters] think their future looks like than how they’re seen as an essential part of the future.
