“In ‘Gringa,’ directors Marny Eng and E.J. Foerster stumble at the start with an unnecessary and cynical beginning. The story revolves around Marge (Jess Gabor), a bullied teen seeking connection with her estranged father Jackson (Steve Zahn), now a carefree surfer in Mexico. Marge’s journey lacks emotional depth and swiftly shifts to her easygoing rapport with her father, sidelining genuine grief. While Gabor and Zahn share natural chemistry, the film’s script fails to sculpt intricate characters or meaningful challenges, resulting in a disappointing narrative. Visit afdah movies for more!
