Fifteen years ago, their Washington Heights neighborhood was dubbed the crack-cocaine capital of the world, but today it is transforming into one of the most vibrant, Spanish-speaking communities in the United States. While the drug dealers continue to disappear, their violent legacy still casts a shadow over the neighborhood and its residents. Junior, an ex-convict struggling to get his life back on track, is a product of this legacy. His younger brother Manny, the salutatorian of his high school class, embodies the hope of the future. On the night of his graduation party, Manny finds himself faced with an ill-fated decision that could change his life forever
Reviews
pancine
Meh, overkill on the stereotypes, machismo and ever present empowerment from saying "fuck". Predictable all the way through although Manny's situation at the end is easily the best part of this average movie, I give it an extra star for that. Overall weak FM release.

The Night Before2019-06-22“La nuit d'avant is the work of a true cultivator of tradition. A seventeen-minute masterpiece that has precisely to do with the act of transmission. I have found a very powerful similarity between the film that is at the origin of this short - The Clock, by Vincente Minnelli- and Rossellini's Viaggio in Italia. We could continue elaborating and extract a thread from this. I find it very exciting to be able to start pulling this thread with a film that has been made this year (2019), instead of starting with its birth." - Paulino ViotaMore...
