Finally!

I saw this at Sundance 2005 - thought it was great. Of the 14 films I saw that year, I'd put it in the top 5. Not as good as Mysterious Skin or Me and You and Everyone We Know, but on par with The Squid and the Whale and Junebug.
I was afraid it was just going nowhere but am pleasantly surprised to learn it's just been released. Just saw it on Ebert & Roeper and it got 2 Thumbs Up.
It's a really interesting film with great performances. The pace is comfortable so if you have ADD you probably won't like it.

I just saw it today!

And I can't believe it's already been out for three years now!

I just saw the film last night in Phoenix,and I really liked it.Reminded me of the work of John Cassavetes.They are only showing it in a few theatres,gearing it toward the Latin audience.I really think it deserves an art house audience,too.

This movie was shot in my hometown. My sisters got to hang out with America.
