The Sparrows Nesting (2016)
From very different backgrounds, the two women bond over their shared love for their families. As the women grow closer, Maria reveals her concern for her precocious, but lonely daughter Bella, who she fears is being bullied at school. At Anna's urging, her teenage daughter Emily takes Bella under her wings. Maria's husband, Hector, loses his job, and his ability to provide for his family. He falls into despair as he's unable to find work, and turns back to drinking. When he finds Maria at the Sparrow's house, he assumes she is cleaning houses. His pride overcomes him and demands she leave with him. Anna agrees to watch Bella as Maria leaves with Hector, hoping to reason with him, make him understand how much she loves him, and that she knows he is always there for his family. As they weigh the impact on young Bella, Anna and Mike face one of the most important decisions of their lives.

A waste of 90 minutes of my life
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
This movie is awful in that it starts out good the two ladies but then makes the two Mexican people look bad and of course the white Christians save the day the bible is not shown much the pastor not there much I think the story line could of been better and they didn't give the one character a chance to get work it did show how clear it was of how they turn him down for a job which is reality in America today they made the characters look bad I can think of a film how hard it is to be a Christian and poor in America am I less of a Christian no start having more movies like that or people on drugs who changed and became Christians
I was not happy with this movie, Anna was made out to be a spoiled wife who didn't even know what a tong was. Mike seem so self center and when Hector came to ask for job, he treated him without compassion. The police stereo type him right away for being a Hispanic talking to a white man. Then dismiss not realizing he was getting in a car and drunk. Mike lie when his wife ask how did he knew Hector, he didn't get agitated at all.The first impression Ana got of Hector was that he was a drunk and came at him at the door yelling at him..Didn't try to diffuse the situation possibly by offering him coffee or a place to come down. which led to Hector being that he was intoxicated being more aggressive. The story if horrible and should not be categorized as spiritual or Christian.
This is a quasi "faith based" film in that the family pastor shows up twice and says a few cryptic sentences and a Bible is shown once or twice. There are a least two stories which never get resolved and the main story is about two close friends (of a couple of weeks). It appears the movie was shot on a low budget and half way through, they realized most of the money was gone so a hurry-up conclusion had to be concocted. I am afraid this is a charlatan attempt to cash in on the current desire for good, wholesome, faith-based movies and that Christian families will watch anything that pretends to be such. Find another use of your time.
