One of my absolute favorite movies, is ‘Raising Victor Vargas’, which is currently playing on Netflix. I’d call it a coming of age in which we follow the main character Victor Vargas in his pursuit to ‘claim’ Judy, the diamond of the neighborhood, however Judy has her own motives for ‘allowing’ the pursuit. I took a film class in high School, and this was one of the movies we analyzed. From first watch, I loved it! I even spent time in the LES (Lower East Side), and I have to attribute my love for the area to first being introduced by Raising Victor Vargas.

Have yall watched? If not, here is the sign to do so. Also, Been to the LES? Well, maybe we’ll have adventure time there, next time?
