Luminarias (1999)
10/10
One of the best movies I have seen
15 September 2003
This is a latino version of Sex in the City. Many great moments, especially Cheech Marin's small but important scenes. It is romantic, comical and heart-warming. It is not stereotypical because we never get to see upscale Latinos in the majority of movies today. They don't have to prove they are professional, because their lifestyle exposes it in a subtle manner. Most importantly the characters are real and every ethic group can identify with them. I can't wait to see more movies like this where Latinos are more than gang-bangers, drug dealers and poor illegal immigrants. This movie is a good step in the direction many have been waiting for.
