Reception
Martin Tsai of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the film "still feels gritty and authentic", and that the "personality flaws of the characters and the dysfunctions of the household are instantly recognizable from this very capable cast, yet they never come off as cliché."[1]
Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "Working-class realism and a charismatic lead performance elevate a story that tends toward cliche."[2]
Andy Webster of The New York Times wrote that "as directed by Henry Barrial, there is solid ensemble acting, particularly by Mr. Bonilla, who dependably anchors a movie that is almost too busy."[3]
