This beautiful story is really a docu-drama, with Mexican lovers Iván and Gerardo playing themselves at 40-something in Brooklyn and actors Armando Espitia and Christian Vasquez portraying them twenty years earlier in their homophobic hometown.
It is the first feature for documentarian Heidi Ewing and she is nominated as such for an Independent Spirit Award. Alas, the soundtrack by Jay Wadley isn't available online, but I blogged about him for his work on Indignation.
Rotten Tomatoes' critics carry this one up to 96%. There aren't any audience reviews because it has not been released. I got to watch it April 8 on a screener from the Spirit Awards so that I could vote the following day. The filmmakers are hoping it will be released in late May of this year.
