This afternoon I saw an amazing film entitled QUINCEANERA. A new film by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland. It was a story about a Latino family in Los Angeles and how a teen pregnancy, a gay cousin and gentrification breaks them in half and mends them together. It's a wonderful testament to the importance of human bonding; how love is never packaged the way we wish; and the heartbreaking tragedy of losing the place called home.

I was a little about this film at first. I knew the two filmmakers were not Latino, and nor were they from the Barrio of Los Angeles, but they seduced me quite nicely with their integrity and truth.

Check it out.

Until next time,
