    The film is rightfully carried by Nico and Dani and under Gay's artful helmsmanship it's carried with remarkable sympathy and believability.
  2. An exceptional coming-of-age film--subtle, humorous, compassionate, acutely perceptive.

    Breezy, surprisingly poignant Spanish film.

    A movie more interested in shocking than in entertaining.

    I really enjoyed this movie; fast paced, plot kept moving with enough twist to keep you guessing. Well done coming of age movie; have NOT seen one like this from the American market. Expand
