Quinceanera

'Quinceanera' touches universal emotions

Hap Erstein

Palm Beach Post

"... comes dangerously close to soap opera, but is saved by the very human script."  

'Quinceanera' is stuck in Hollywood formula

Steve Murray

Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"... while "Quinceañera" clearly wants to make bigger statements — about the nature of family, and the culture clash caused by white/gay gentrification in poorer Hispanic neighborhoods — it never quite manages to do so."  

Movie celebrates its complex characters

John DeFore

Austin American Statesman

"... contains its share of melodrama but doesn't wallow in it."
