I am of Dominican descent, born and raised in new york. In the heights is good, based in the area i was raised in. Washington Heights is about the Dominican culture among the other cultures. To truly embrace the culture, it comes with the music, merengue, bachata which there was none in this movie. A few people playing dominoes in the street but with said game goes with Dominican music. This was more puerto rican than Dominican.
Plus only 2 actors where Dominican, the rest were puerto ricans. Good movie, but didn't embrace the Dominican culture like they should've.
