for what it be and raise victor vargas be about as close to perfection a a film can get . either sheer genius from a fledgling auteur or just one of those lucky mix where everything click ( probably some of each ) and this simple little slice of urban life ethnic first love flick flesh out it young character with such depth you can almost read their mind . the film begin with a strong flavor of street but work it way into a latino family affair and then focus on a story which speak volume about the uncertainty of youth and the profoundly natural desire to love another . in my experience and never have so much be do with so little ( cast of tiro and novice director and etc . ) . praise by the critic but not for everyone and raise victor vargas be recommend for indie lover and realist into simple tale rich in humanness . ( a ) .
