3/5
There is certainly chemistry between its leads – and the camera is clearly in love with Quique too – but its edit is the film’s biggest hurdle, feeling clunky and actually unfinished. Go to Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Feb 19, 2025
3/5

Hottesome X @Hottesome 5 days ago Machismo culture collides internally and externally as we follow Quique (Dennis Garcia), full of heart, but forever guarded by his Nuyorican roots and what it means to be a hard working man. Facing several barriers including homophobia, masculinity and family he often holds back even though deep down he knows exactly what he wants for himself and who he really is.
