    Glatzer and Westmoreland live in Echo Park, and they have given their film a remarkable sense of place.

    One of the most perceptive movies about the gentrification of Los Angeles.

    Refreshingly free of the gangs, guns and drugs clichés associated with the milieu, this is a satisfying, spicy little picture.

    I loved how they developed each of the characters, which was kind of difficult considering the diversity of each of their backgrounds.

    This film is a breakthrough -- an indie without an ironic distance from its subject matter. Really emotionally satisfying.
