Boogie is at times unpolished but it offers a compelling and sympathetic portrayal of the title character and avoids excessive melodrama or a too-facile ending.
(Mauro Lanari) Youthful ethnic minorities who, in the grip of a lacerating ambivalence, a "mixture of covetousness and resentment" (Alison Willmore of Vulture), aspire to integration with the goals of the American nightmare while despising it.
It’s a competent movie, but it doesn’t quite make it to the big leagues.
