Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Had the story had more oomph to it, its stance would have seemed a lot more important as an artistic issue. But as things sit, it's an abstract plus indeed.

fresh:
It turns into a subtle character study that both gay and straight audiences will find moving.

fresh:
Albaladejo takes a warm approach to his characters, from Pedro's boisterous circle of like-minded gay pals (known as 'bears' for their stocky builds and facial hair) to Bernardo's paternal grandmother.

rotten:
Suddenly this careful and patient movie turns cheap and hasty, with unexpected disclosures, desperate curveballs, and crocodile tears. It's not ruinous, but it's not good either.
– Wesley Morris,
Boston Globe,

fresh:
Thoroughly likable, it never resorts to sentimental cliches or moralistic epiphanies.
