	Media	Author	Review
		Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"If first-time director Michael Berry only hints at deeper levels of conflict rather than exploring them, he has made a respectable B picture"
		Stephanie Zacharek Village Voice	"'Frontera' is a showcase for actors: Ed Harris, in particular (...) Berry isn't afraid to use melodrama as a tool to highlight injustice"
		Claudia Puig USA Today	"A poignant tale of human decency and redemption (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"
		Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times	"Rather than the gravitas Berry is seeking, too much in "Frontera" is like the country it is shot in — so much dust in the wind"
		Stephen Holden The New York Times	"You wish that a filmmaker like John Sayles had grabbed the story by the throat and teased out its complexities"
