Which 2006 film about two cousins was titled Quinceañera?

The 2006 film about two cousins is titled Quinceañera.

Written and directed by Wash Westmoreland and Richard Glatzer, the film follows Magdalena and her cousin Carlos in Los Angeles. Its story explores family expectations, sexuality, religion, housing, and belonging within a Mexican American community.

The film premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, where it won both the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award. Those honors helped bring the independent production wider attention beyond its cultural subject.

The title refers to the central family celebration, but the film is not simply a documentary about party customs. It is a narrative drama using the event as a setting for conflicts involving adolescence, family reputation, and community life. The film is sometimes distinguished from general articles about quinceañeras by adding “film” to its title.
