Reviews

"One of the most perceptive movies about the gentrification of Los Angeles."

   - Ken Fox, TV Guide

"Glatzer and Westmoreland live in Echo Park, and they have given their film a remarkable sense of place."

   - Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle

"The film is a wonderful choice for older teens and has considerable crossover appeal for adult audiences."

   - Marrit Ingman, Austin Chronicle

"On the surface, each of these characters fits a familiar Latino stereotype--teen harlot, "el bandido" and male buffoon--yet the movie insists on giving each person dimension."

   - Peter Debruge, Premiere

"A sweet and wise little film."

   - Shawn Levy, Portland Oregonian
