East Side Story is the story of Diego (René Alvarado), a young, closeted Latino, who helps his grandmother (Irene DeBari) run the family restaurant while carrying on a relationship with equally closeted Pablo (David Berón). Diego has long felt trapped by the conservative culture of East LA and plans to move away and open an upscale restaurant, hopefully with his lover, but Pablo views their relationship very differently - a point driven home when he begins dating Diego's Aunt Bianca (Gladise Jimenez). At the same time, Wesley and his boyfriend move in, gentrifying the neighborhood. The attraction between Wesley and Diego is immediate and electric, forcing both men to reexamine their state of affairs.
Leave your thoughts about East Side Story.
| User ReviewAdarsh BEast Side Story works as a nice companion piece to the recent indie hit Quinceanera, and is a much lighter (yet sometimes offensive) offering. The performances are stellar, especially Mr. Alvarado and Ms. Jimenez. Although I enjoyed the movie as a whole, I would've liked for Mr. Portugal to have created a story that tried to diminish stereotypes between gays and Latinos, instead of sometimes tastelessly perpetuating them. Regardless, East Side Story is a terrific movie, and it's nice to see two openly gay actors like Steve Callahan and Corey Schneider in starring roles. |
| User ReviewGregory MNot your everyday gay movie, but moving and lovely for those of us who want a little spice in their cinematic lives. |
| User ReviewSylvester KLove that Wesley he's such a great guy... |
| User ReviewNauman BA fantastic updated view of west side story and how family can surprise you when you least expect it |
| User ReviewEl JeffeThis Movie has 'Realism', the Supportive Family, even when he didn't think they all knew. I have to agree, the SCREAMING QUEEN has to go! |
| User ReviewScott SThis is a great movie with good acting, good writing and a fun story. I highly recommend it. |
| User ReviewCarl Aa cute flim a little on the cheesy side, predictable but charming story. |
| User ReviewJuan Alberto CLove this movie. It was a good one, one of my favorites....A must see... |
| User ReviewGreg CProbably the best "coming out" story I've seen on screen. Good story with great acting for such a low budget film, although I have to admit that some of the voice over dubbing was bad in that "is there an echo in this room?" kind of way. I especially appreciated the fact that it brought up the problems with gentrification in ways that "gay cinema" usually refuses to acknowledge. |
| User ReviewJ Larry RAn exceptional film that, at first, made me think my glass wass half-empty. Then I sat down and realized that life is not based on a film script. Though art sometimes imitates life. |
