audience Reviews
, 72% Audience Score- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsGreat movie about the difficulties Latinos face with accepting LGBT relatives.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsNice to see a movie representing the Chicano Gay community.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsGood acting, ok plot, and great storyline. The beauty of the movie, besides the nearly flawless acting, was the hundreds of individual issues taken across the entire storyline. It raised a lot of questions and gave some decent potential answers, most without words. It carried the watcher through this with soft landings on hard topics.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsBeautiful : Authentically visually captures San Francisco, Not the tourist San Franciso of Vertigo, but the places where people live: and the Mission District in all its charming funkiness, the vista from Potrero Hill. A beautiful heartfelt fairytale.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsBenjamin Bratt really brings his all in this movie. It was a pretty intense movie but in the end, well, you need to watch. :)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsBenjamin Bratt delivers an excellent portrayal in this sleep hit.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsThis film is about so much and yet so little. It is at once, simple and complex. Things fall apart, and it is whether or not we get up after everything has crumbled that determines who we are afterall. Brilliant acting by Benjamin Bratt, Erika Alexander and Jeremy Ray Valdez. This is a film worth seeing.
- Rating: 3.5 out of 5 starsThe many plot twists, especially in the second half, coupled with the father's recalcitrant attitude towards his son easily compensated for the few overly-predicatable parts of this movie. Great homage to SF and the Mission.
- Rating: 4.5 out of 5 starsgreat movie, nice cars over all would love to watch again. a dad accepting his so n for who he is.
- Rating: 2.5 out of 5 starsAs a proud fan of Living Single, I was happy to see to see Erika Alexander, even if she lacked all the fire and spunk from her 90s sitcom days. This film was pretty straight forward and full of clichés. Though this film did depict to an extent the ramifications of being a gay Latino teen in the hood, it didn't nearly go far enough to give the characters any substance. The son was pretty bland, just hitting all the angsty points properly and Bratt really over does it as Latino dad by adopting a ridiculous LA homeboy accent. Not even the chemistry free romantic subplot or ambiguous ending could save this from being mediocre.
