San Francisco Chronicle

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

By Ruthe Stein FULL REVIEW

Seattle Post-Intelligencer

What Quinceañera does offer is charm, sensitivity and intelligence.

FULL REVIEW

Philadelphia Inquirer

The film is suffused with the generous, nonjudgmental spirit of Uncle Tomas, whose live-and-let-live attitude warms like the sun and who helps Magdalena and Carlos make the safe passage from adolescence to maturity.

By Carrie Rickey FULL REVIEW

The A.V. Club

Quinceañera sketches its characters and conflicts with warmth and empathy.

By Nathan Rabin FULL REVIEW

Salon

It's an engaging, sweet-yet-sad neighborhood slice of life, anchored by pretty cinematography and a couple of nice performances.

By Andrew O'Hehir FULL REVIEW

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

It's all such a throwback, and yet there's something rather sweet about the way this pot boils.

Entertainment Weekly

Tthis isn't just any setup, is it: It's suds being sold as ethno-sensitive reality, a case of coveting thy neighbor's fiesta.
