The performances are uniformly fine, with Perez showing a heavy amount of presence and complexity.
10/03/03
The film has an urgency and assured street-level realism that is rare for any film, let alone one by a first-time director.

An affecting reworking of a traditional story, told with passion, sensitivity, and a little clumsiness.
08/04/03
The genuine affection Washington Heights displays for the Manhattan neighborhood of the same name can't make up for its lack of originality.

The performances are good... but they're just 2-dimensional people living in a 3-dimensional world.

A promising debut that makes us anticipate this Columbia University film grad's sophomore work.
07/31/03
Buoyed by strong performances from Perez and Miami-resident Milian, Washington Heights overcomes the familiarity of its premise through its passion and conviction.

Washington Heights is sloppy and often undernourished, but it convincingly creates a neighborhood throbbing with activity and caring.
07/23/03
Deserves a wide audience hungry for sympathetic, three-dimensional people caught up in something bigger than themselves.
07/21/03
Washington Heights may not always be great, but director Alfredo de Villa lights an undeniable fire in the movie's belly.
07/19/03
A fine and absorbing film.
