    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.

    Their're good movie that came out like Get Real, Borstar Boy just to name a couple. The movie Nico and dani was great it hit real close to home. I hope are more movie like these in the days coming.

    Refreshing in its frank look at sexuality across the spectrum and the difficulty of intimacy. Plus a nice visual vacation to Spain.

    I found it a frank and honest look at the awkward age between adolescense and adulthood. If hollywood made movies this honest, I'd go to the theatres more often.

    It's too bad this film is obscure to most American teenagers. There's not too many other films out there that portray teen sexuality so frankly and beautifully.

  1. The acting is amiable but the story isn't much deeper than the callow main characters.
  2. Rambling and easygoing, Nico and Dani is a modest but frank look at adolescent lust, both heterosexual and homosexual.
  3. Sweet and harmless -- a beach movie in more ways than one -- but it doesn't run awfully deep.
