Movie: Quinceanera (2006)
I felt like I learned something about Hispanic culture in Los Angeles from this movie, which is a measure of success even for pure fiction. A Quinceañera is a girl’s fifteenth birthday, and the introduction plunges you into a youthful world. Characters who identify with their cellphones are plunged into adulthood when confronted with a pregnancy, fundamentalism, gay culture, and the gentrification of their neighborhood. Worthwhile.
