100A daring, free-spirited and ultimately moving performance by Benjamin Bratt lies at the beating heart of Pinero.
-
80Ichaso moves easily between a black-and-white past and a full-color present, maintaining a pace as buoyant and rhythmic as the beat of the infectious Latin music that accompanies the film.
-
60Ichaso tells Piñero's story through a sometimes disorienting series of flashbacks and flash-forwards, fracturing the time frame to suit the film's internal rhythms, rather than any coherent time line.
-
30There's a strong movie in this life, but writer-director Leon Ichaso ("Sugar Hill") hasn't found it.
