Its tender portrait of young love surviving the City remains fairly untarnished.

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.

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.

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

Angelfish is a simple story presented in a very modest way, however it is moving in a way that makes you respect it.

Rated: 7/10
