AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: Frontera is solidly cast, handsomely mounted, and well-acted; unfortunately, it's also rather dull and fairly forgettable.

Critic Reviews for Frontera
All Critics (24) | Top Critics (15) | Fresh (13) | Rotten (11)
In trying to create a balanced portrait of the conflicts and the ordinary people affected by them, director Michael Berry... chips away at the authenticity and intensity that an issue-driven film like this sorely needs.
It captures the desperation of illegal immigrants and the confused rancor that often greets them on the American side of the border.
The actors are compelling, and the issue is, of course, always worth discussion. It's not a great movie, but, if nothing else, Frontera is worthwhile on those fronts.
"Frontera" is a well-cast, well-made, well-acted drama that you will probably forget about soon after you've seen it.
The movie gets points for not being polemical, but they don't replace the polemics with anything interesting.
You wish that a filmmaker like John Sayles had grabbed the story by the throat and teased out its complexities.
