Aro Recommended Raising Victor Vargas

 

USA 2002, 88 minutes
Dir. Peter Sollett
Rating: [M]
Genres: Drama, Comedy / Youth, Independent, Romance

Topics: Rites-of-passage.

 

Aroview: A sensitive, appealing urban coming of age story set in a Hispanic New York subculture that rewardingly favours low-key incident over melodrama.

In a sweltering NY summer heat, the harsh rituals of youth dating scene come to bear even on ladies’ man Victor, who loses his confidence (and street cred) when his dream girl remains out of reach. With attractive leads and compassion for its characters, this affectionately captures the excitement and woolly-headedness of youth, with particularly sensitivity displayed toward the confused agendas of boys and girls.
