Real Women Have Curves (12a)

Plot
Upon graduating high school Ana is torn between college ambition and family obligations. She reluctantly works in her sister's factory for a summer and it is there that she learns about the women around her, and herself.

Verdict
Warm, humorous, with some strong performances elevates this film above the humdrum coming-of-age stock we may have grown to expect. Not remarkable, but definitely one to watch.
