Monica Castillo Remezcla Its tender portrait of young love surviving the City remains fairly untarnished. Nov 23, 2019 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Lee coaxes moving performances from a young cast, and he beautifully captures the cultural nuances of the Bronx neighborhoods where his story is set. But he has a tough time finding much new to say with this tale of star-crossed lovers. Nov 21, 2019 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety Destiny Frasqueri (better known to her Generation Z fans as Nuyorican rapper Princess Nokia) makes a winning, delicate screen debut in "Angelfish," a low-key Bronx romance that proves a surprisingly muted vehicle for her outsize performing charisma. Nov 16, 2019 Full Review Kathy Fennessy Video Librarian Magazine [Peter Andrew Lee's] performers are up to the task, particularly [Destiny Nicole] Frasqueri, whose gentle, understated performance stands in opposition to her extroverted hip-hop image. Rated: 3/4 Aug 15, 2021 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Underwhelming cross-cultural Bronx romance between a white man and a Puerto Rican woman. Rated: B- May 23, 2020 Full Review Peter Gray Brisbanista A delicate romance set in early 90's New York where the parallels of the city's hardships and that of a blossoming relationship run in unison. Rated: 3.5/5 May 17, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
