We Don't Ask You for a Trip to the Moon is a poignant documentary that dives into the lives of seamstresses in Mexico City post-1985 earthquake. The film has this raw, almost gritty atmosphere that really captures the desperation and resilience of its subjects. It’s not polished, which somehow makes it more powerful. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, but it mirrors the chaos of the aftermath. The real standout here is the performances of the seamstresses themselves; their stories are both heartbreaking and empowering. The documentary exposes the stark reality of labor exploitation and the struggle for justice, making it a significant piece of social commentary.
