Touching, charming and very engagingly played, it offers perceptive insights into LA Latino culture as well as solid, slightly old-fashioned entertainment.
The storytelling remains less than satisfying, particularly the ending.
The setting and the people in it make Quinceanera a party worth an RSVP.
It feels awkward, both in the pat screenplay and the uneven direction.
You realize that, while pretending to break ground, Quinceañera is ultimately stuck in familiar Hollywood formulas.
[Has]courage to look realistically, instead of idealistically, at some dubious civic practices; and second, honesty about the painful feelings of kids coupled with their desperate need for love and guidance and their ultimate desire to do the right thing.
Audience Reviews for Quinceañera
I like the plot but it was lacking something.
Super Reviewer
Impressive acting all round, the story?s focus is on being an outsider within a community and is a pretty original idea, however my advice would be not to read the synopsis before watching, as it is a bit of a story spoiler. This is certainly not a movie made for teens, it will be enjoyed by anyone who enjoys realistic Drama.
Super Reviewer
