Tim Grierson Screen International 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. Sep 23, 2024 Full Review Stanley Kauffmann The New Republic In terms of content or plot, this film has little new to offer. Yet it is a small prize. Jun 18, 2013 Full Review Farran Smith Nehme New York Post Guerrero's attitude toward the teenagers - understanding and affectionate, without being cloying - is what holds your interest. Rated: 3/4 Aug 3, 2012 Full Review Dorothy Burk Vasquez PopMatters The world of Mosquita y Mari is rich in color and emotional depth. Rated: 7/10 Sep 23, 2024 Full Review Gary M. Kramer Gay City News Guerrero brings an authenticity to her characters and their location that informs the film’s drama. Sep 23, 2024 Full Review Rebecca Pahle Pajiba The LGBT angle here is low-key and achingly bittersweet. Sep 23, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Frans G 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/17/24 Full Review PridePosterStudios This is a real timewaster. It won’t take you long to find sapphic films that are far more deserving of your evening. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/09/24 Full Review Audience Member Its a bit slow in the start but very captivating after the 2nd episode. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I do not see how this is a gay/ lesbian film ??????????!??!!???????? what cuddling ??then touching her face and stomach on a couch is considered gay ? 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 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
