The real-life rise of an engaging frontman inspires the lax, awkward ‘Clika’

Jimmy Humilde, a record executive and the CEO of Rancho Humilde, produced this film with the goal of showing that Mexican American stories deserve to be told on the big screen. This is a worthwhile and timely effort, especially now when Latino Americans are facing unfair scrutiny. If Humilde and director Greene succeed with “Clika,” it’s because they’ve highlighted the importance of these stories, as Latino representation in film is often severely limited.
