The setting is New York's Lower East Side, the characters are three Latino adolescents living with their grandmother in a cramped apartment. But Peter Sollett's film, which he wrote himself but allowed his actors free rein to improvise, doesn't go where you think it might.
There are no drugs, no rapping and, though the film is about sex, there are no embarrassingly frank sex scenes. Instead, we are presented with a young man who, having successfully seduced the willing girl upstairs, sets his sights on the prettiest girl in the neighbourhood. If he can make himself her new man, he can hold his head up high.
It isn't at all surprising that this small but cherishable movie, supported by the Cannes film festival's Cinéfondation as well as the Sundance Institute, has won awards from several other festivals. Its drama seems totally true to the perils of waking up to manhood, the acting doesn't seem like performance at all, and you leave thinking this is one of the very best of its kind around.
And if anyone wants to find a star, Altagracia Guzman, superb as the incessantly worrying grandma, fits the bill admirably. Unquestionably one of the most properly charming, and thus honest, films in the country just now.
