Anglo homo’s are moving in and gentrifying the neighborhood to the concern of many folks. Bianca (formerly Blanca) breezes in from Europe and everything is in place for the free-for-all. It was interesting, and frustrating, to watch the back and forth nature of the plot: Two characters get together…break up…back together… There is some tension between one GWM (a twink from Mississippi) and a hilarious moment with an AA group meeting in his house. (“He never gave me his rolex.” “It’s probably not real, like his hair.”) Even with the predictability of the plot several characters grew on me, notably the sister who I was ready to kill at the beginning and hug at the end. The movie could have used a better lighting engineer, there were many scenes that were difficult to see because low light was ill aimed. However, it wasn’t a deal breaker. Also, someone who would know commented to me that this was an accurate depiction of life in East LA.
