By combining two challenging experiences like being a trans woman and at the same time an illegal immigrant, Lingua Franca becomes a very relevant film. The story is one that could easily have chosen darker and much more dramatic paths than what it ends up presenting, but at the same time this provides a sense of naturalness that would have been more difficult to apply in a harsher drama. I do criticize the director for not digging a little deeper into the situations she exposes, because even though these situations are not just on the surface, let's say it lacks a little more in-depth exploration and a bit of more background for her characters. Very convincing, but overall it ends up being overly timid and discreet.

Lingua Franca is notable not just for the deftness of its overall assembly and performances, but for its approaching hot-button issues of the moment (the status/rights of both transpersons and undocumented workers) in ways that are insightful without being heavy-handed.

Sensitive and thoughtful film on some hard topics our society is grappling with. Kudos to director Isabel Sandoval.

The shared experience between the filmmaker and the subject of the film allows for a character study of depth and intimacy. However, the story itself – a slightly soapy ‘romance against the odds’ narrative – presents few surprises.

Lingua Franca is, first and foremost, a story about yearning, vulnerability and sexual awakening in which the complications of identity are revealed slowly, with a dramatist’s awareness that our perceptions will change, or undergo a succession of changes, before we come back to seeing the decreasingly calm Olivia for who she is, a passionate spirit on an uncertain journey.
