Review of Luminarias

Luminarias (1999)
9/10
A very engaging story of four women and what develops in their lives in a short period of time.
18 January 2000
"Luminarias" is a very different film from the typical. We get to know four diverse professional Latina ladies and their personal stories. We learn the difficulties of their lives, and what they hope for in the future. What actually happens to each of them may be totally unexpected. The film is very warm, very funny, disturbing and touching, all at once, with fine acting and some surprise appearances.

I feel this film will appeal to a general mature audience, but ladies of all types will especially enjoy it. When I viewed the film in the theater, women in the audience were identifying so much with the characters and what they were saying, that many were answering out-loud to the screen. All-in-all, a very good theater experience.
