3/4
Directed by Allison Anders ("Gas Food Lodging") . . .the resulting mosaic is nonetheless powerful and sobering. Go to Full Review

Scarcely represents a convincing, satisfying treatment of the intriguing subject matter. Go to Full Review
Sam Frazier, Jr. Time Out 02/09/2006
Anders mixes real gang members with up-and-coming Latin American actresses, but this ploy fails to lend the film authenticity or vitality. The tone seems, to put it kindly, misguidedly romantic. Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Jan 25 Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é mais ou menos, o filme meio que se tratou de um drama de garotas em um bairro, que se não fosse por esse drama o filme seria ruim, o filme não tem uma ação meio forte para fazer o filme ser melhor, mas não é um filme ruim.

I don't know how intentional the humor was supposed to be, but it worked on so many levels. It's a good, fun time. The first chapter, if you will, is by far the best one.
