	Media	Author	Review
		Monica Castillo rogerebert.com	"You can see and feel Ewing's love for her characters in beautifully natural ways. It doesn’t feel like an outsider’s gaze (...) The movie gives the audience a stronger emotional connection to their journey"
		Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter	"A poignant, politically resonant love story (...) With almost Malickian impressionistic flair and a stealthily innovative mix of fictional and nonfictional elements"
		Valerie Complex Variety	"The narrative scenes are shot in a way that makes it hard to stay committed throughout (...) The love story of Ivan and Gerardo is an important one"
		David Canfield Entertainment Weekly	"In Ewing’s hands and as anchored by two superb performances, Iván and Gerardo’s romance gets scaled up to an epic, a searing saga of the undocumented experience in which love is the binding force"
		Gregory Ellwood The Playlist	"There is a beautiful love story at the center of 'I Carry You With Me (Te Llevo Conmigo)' (...) Ewing makes a creative decision in the final act of the picture which simply sucks all the air out of the room"
		Jude Dry IndieWire	"'I Carry You With Me' succeeds in distilling a very engrossing and moving narrative from this real life drama"
		Justin Chang Los Angeles Times	"[Ewing] shows an almost palpable commitment to capturing [the] love story in all its intimate and epic proportions."
		Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"Even the movie’s warmest scenes (...) [have] a poignancy that bleeds into Pablo Ramírez’s softly intimate images."
		Phuong Le The Guardian	"A fascinating –though at times uneven– blend of film styles (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
