Zusammenfassung
Empfohlene Bewertungen
The cast is mostly non-union, and the performances they give are brave and fresh. Three cheers for Emily Rios and Jesse Garcia, who played the leads, and cousins, who are struggling with acceptance from their parents, and take shelter with their elderly great-uncle.
I also saw this at Sundance, and the film got a standing ovation. I was surprised it took both the Grand Jury and Audience Awards, but not surprised it resonated on such a fundamental level with the cast.
Directors Wash Westmoreland and Richard Glatzer said they began writing the story on New Year's Day of 2005, and the entire thing came together fast - 3 weeks for financing, another three to film on their very own street of Echo Park.
I think it's specific enough to interest people, and universal enough to keep them watching.

- I enjoyed the movie but...... since when can a women get pregnant when the sperm is emited on her leg? I am a nurse and this is not possible. Sperm do not climb into the vagina. And why would a conservative minister father suddenly be so forgiving and feel guilty when he discovers that the 14 year old daughters sexual activity involved nudity and intimacy but just not full penetration. True to character he would still be very upset with her.
