Mosquita Y Mari never definitively defines their friendship... so credit is due to these young actresses for walking a dramatic tightrope that requires an impressive amount of nuance. Go to Full Review

Frans G 05/16/2024 Sympathetic film about two Latino girls from different families who develop a close friendship from an initial aversion. Realistically portrayed with painful and loving moments. They learn to cope with affection and jealousy. Poverty and its consequences is also a theme. Very natural acting. Skilfully filmed and a nice soundtrack.

Idk stupid labeling if you ask me the movie was okay not all that idk how it ,has such a high score but I wouldn't recommend to watch that's for sure See more 05/13/2020 The acting was good, the writing was good, and we enjoyed this movie. It's not a face-paced movie, if that is what you're looking forward. See more 04/02/2017 This movie is worth seeing for what it highlights. It's not only about love, it's also about equality of chances and different turn of lives. I wish the ending were different but i did enjoy watching the movie. See more Read all reviews
