FEAST ON...

This coming-of-age romantic film, written and directed by Aitch Alberto, is an adaptation of the 2012 novel of the same name by Benjamin Alire Sáenz. It follows two Mexican American teenagers who find an instant connection in 1987 El Paso, who explore a new, unusual friendship and the difficult road to self-discovery.

The cast includes Eva Longoria and features two moving performances from Max Pelayo and Reese Gonzales. Alberto's adaptation embraces the heartwarming nature that made Sáenz’s novel mean so much to so many readers.

"Yes, it’s a love story, but it’s also an incredibly beautiful exploration of intersectionality." - Peter Debruge, Variety
