Jerod S @jeroduptown 02/09/2019 Daddy issues. Young man's struggle for sexual identity is caught up in the loss of his dad to prison. See more 09/11/2014 Enrique returns home from a stint in prison to find his homelife has changed. His wife is hiding an affair she had whilst he was away and his son Michael is going through a sexual/gender awakening. The bigoted father tries hard to grasp hold of his masculine ideals, whilst Angela tries her best to keep her family dynamic together. Though the story of a man returning home from prison to find shit has changed is rather well trodden ground, the tale of Michael's transexuality and the gender politics it brings on is a nice angle. Harmony Santana is a triumph as Michael and gives the character real empathy. The cast as a whole does very well, but I found Enrique's arc to be rather flat and his story should have held equal heading with that of his son. The juxtaposition of the two characters could have been so much more interesting. It just fell a little flat here. An intriguing tale of sexual transformation, but not much more. See more 08/19/2014 strong movie watching this makes me see Esai Morales need more work. Such a talent actor we miss out on. See more 07/06/2014 Pfff... Not Interesting... See more 03/23/2014 another pic about cons trying to re-enter society after serving their time shitty ending though See more 07/26/2013 Una mezcla explosiva de problemas sociales y familiares. Muy buenas, o mas bien realistas actuaciones de algo que no vemos muy seguido en el cine con enfoque latino. Me recordo un poco a Secret Games. See more Read all reviews
