Movie Reviews of Quinceanera
Movie Review: !Que padre! Encantadora!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This unique, and yet universally "human" story combines the charm and vividness of the Mexican culture...the beauty and spirit of that culture and its people, its dance, its religious beliefs, its music and customs and traditions of family and honour, and at the same time transcends these cultural differences it enlightens us on to take us on a human journey of true courage, honesty and love. A movie to watch over and over again, and talk to your friends about in movie clubs! Buy it and treasure it always. Learn how fundamentally we, as human beings, are looking and searching for the same values, even if these values seem to play out in what appears to be different worlds. A wonderful way to get a glimpse of what it means to be a 15 year old girl with mexican roots, living in a modern world. A wonderful way to learn what is important to us all in our search for truth.Movie Review: Well Worth the Wait
Summary: 5 Stars
I Found out about this movie, Then waited and waited, and then some more waiting. it never came out anywhere near me. So I was left to wait.. For the dvd release. yesterday at long last I rented it, sat myself down and got ready to love it. I did. Quinceanera was everything I hoped for and more.
Believable,genuine and full to the top with heart.
Emily Rios as spirited determined Magdalena is refreshing and real.
Jesse Garcia is intense and amazing as Carlos, I mean it, you can't take your eyes off this guy.
Chalo Gonzalez is endearing perfection as Tio Tomas, You want him in your family.
For the most part the rest of the cast is great, and the few exceptions,and little problems within the movie don't hurt the film as a whole.
one like this is rare, see this movie.
Movie Review: "Heart-warming, heart-aching and most of all, real"
Summary: 5 Stars
A beautiful film with many layers that take awhile to see. I first saw the film on the big screen at a film festival, then saw the DVD on my home screen. There were so many nuances I missed the first time. I was reminded of the movie Real Women Have Curves, which I also enjoyed.
After living in New Mexico, with a strong Hispanic culture, I thought the film was realistic, capturing poignant moments as well as humor.
Don't miss the commentaries here -- one of the best Special Features I've heard in awhile. They actually talk about the film and its meaning, not just a bunch of in jokes nobody cares about. I love the part where they explain how they filmed the middle-aged women at the first party.
The dogs are great, too.
Movie Review: Best representation I've seen in a while...
Summary: 5 Stars
It's sometimes hard to capture a true representation of a Hispanic family living in the United States. I was blown away by the raw reality I found in this film. All of the characters are so wonderfully portrayed, and every character takes the perfect course of action through the plot to result in the raw passions but undying love that families like this one experience.
If you were born into a Hispanic-American family, watch and enjoy. You will understand every second.
Movie Review: It could open your eyes and heart.
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie "Quinceanera" has all the qualities that make an Independant film an exceptional experience. The story gives the Mexican culture of
celebrating a girls coming of age on her 15th birthday an unexpected emotional and entertaining twist that will provoke feelings of joy,sadness and understanding. As a bonous the DVD gives you an interesting look into the making of the movie and how it came together.
