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

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
