Mosquita y Mari Ratings & Reviews
PopMatters
Dorothy Burk Vasquez
The world of Mosquita y Mari is rich in color and emotional depth.
Gay City News
Gary M. Kramer
Guerrero brings an authenticity to her characters and their location that informs the film's drama.
Pajiba
Rebecca Pahle
The LGBT angle here is low-key and achingly bittersweet.
Latinx Lens
Rosa Parra
A rare representation of U.S Latinos in an area that isn't often spotlighted in film, Huntington Park (CA). Looks into various challenges often faced by this community, homophobia, social expectations, and financial hardships.
Remezcla
Nick MacWilliam
If that (the premise) sounds corny, the film is anything but, with supreme performances from the two leads.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
Guerrero's quietly told and observant feature has ragtag realism on its sleeve, but unfortunately doesn't manage to assert itself as memorable.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
In terms of content or plot, this film has little new to offer. Yet it is a small prize.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
John Beifuss
Unreels with outstanding compassion and tenderness, and authentic detail...
Film Threat
Mark Bell
It knows the conventions surrounding the type of tale it is telling, and it steers clear of them...
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
Guerrero's attitude toward the teenagers - understanding and affectionate, without being cloying - is what holds your interest.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
"Mosquita y Mari," an unassuming indie jewel, resists all of the clichs that its story of the fraught friendship between two 15-year-old girls invites.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
[It] doesn't aim to make any grand statements. It doesn't need to. The sweetness and sincerity Guerrero and her leads infuse into their intimate coming-of-age story is more than enough.
Variety
Rob Nelson
First-time writer-director Aurora Guerrero beautifully captures the fluctuating dynamics of friendship between 15-year-old girls in Mosquita y Mari.
Slant Magazine
Kalvin Henely
Most of what transpires between the two girls feels as internal as something you only keep to yourself.
Village Voice
Nick Schager
Despite occasional lapses into showy expressionistic slo-mo, Guerrero's direction demonstrates a patience and attention to emotional detail that allows the two young leads' performances to develop naturally.

Kam Williams
To think that in just one generation we've gone from Chico and the Man to Chica and the Girl!
The Hollywood Reporter
Duane Byrge
Heartfelt depiction of first-crush love for two Chicana girls.
