Chicago Reader Fred Camper
Despite some amateurish moments, Pulido displays genuine visual intelligence, using repeated static angles to emphasize the blandness of the family's anonymous tract house and moving with the characters as they try to individualize themselves.

An intriguing failure that promises more than it delivers.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Edward Guthmann
Despite its technical defects and negligent production values, The Flip Side will probably appeal to a Filipino-American audience.

Joe gave it a 9:
Satisfying - comically, visually and emotionally.
Jordan S. gave it an 8:
This movie is all about cultural identity, but it's also funny as hell. If your like me, then you have a Filipino friend or family member who acts black, or a friend who acts white. This movie is enjoyable to watch once you get used to the black the white.
