Lee coaxes moving performances from a young cast, and he beautifully captures the cultural nuances of the Bronx neighborhoods where his story is set. But he has a tough time finding much new to say with this tale of star-crossed lovers.

3/4

3.5/5

A delicate romance set in early 90's New York where the parallels of the city's hardships and that of a blossoming relationship run in unison.
