Perhaps the emotion All Friends are Necessary provoked in me the most was yearning, a tender-hearted love for these characters, from their triumphs to their anxieties, and everything in between. Tomas Moniz maneuvers through time in this beautiful exploration of friendship, longing, and belonging, as Efren “Chino” Flores navigates his relationship with family through the partnerships he forms within his community. This will leave you wanting to immediately call your closest friends.
