Queens - kovat korttelit

Ambitious coming-of-age drama, this may hit a false note here or there but the performances are magnetic.

...the film feels like an earnest retread over old territory, albeit one that intermittently comes to life thanks to an amazing cast...

...an impressionistic memory piece about coming of age on the working-class streets dominated by the immigrant descendants of Italians, Puerto Ricans, and African-Americans.

...om at forlade og at blive forladt. Om at turde svigte sin hjemstavn for egen lykkes skyld og om at få forladelse for dette fra nogen, men ikke alle.
