Tomatometer-approved critic
Nicolás is the son of a Nicaraguan immigrant who finally decided to put his seemingly useless knowledge of movies to use. Moving from the breezy coast of Half Moon Bay to the humid hills of North Carolina, he?s always found inspiration, comfort and enlightenment at the movies.
