The Meeting of President Taft and President Díaz at El Paso, Texas Audience Reviews

Manthast Absolutely amazing
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
