About Raising Victor Vargas
Victor, a Lower East Side teenager, as he deals with his eccentric family, including his strict grandmother, his bratty sister, and a younger brother who completely idolizes him. Along the way he tries to win the affections of Judy, who is very careful and calculating when it comes to how she deals with men.
Directed by Peter Sollett, Raising Victor Vargas leans on a strong ensemble — Victor Rasuk, Judy Marte, Melonie Díaz — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2003.
