In Compton, a soon-to-be undocumented teenager fights for her right to stay in America while risking her family, her friendships, and her first love.

In "La Leyenda Negra," a Latino-centric project with queer notes and major topical value, her fight (and that of those she represents) is communicated thunderously.

There's a shaggy energy throughout that gives the movie a sense of urgency.

7/10

A starkly shot, black and white drama that carries a ragged sincerity...

La Leyenda Negra is a searing twist on the coming of age (and coming out) tale that feels like a new classic of U.S. Latino cinema.

the film does juggle a lot of subject matter but it is a fresh take on the coming of age genre. does a great job of presenting topics that leave the viewer interested in researching societal issues that may not affect them. overall a great watch!
