User Review

Beautiful!

Rating: 10/10


As an American of Cuban parents, I had always heard the political
rhetoric about Cuba as I was growing up. All the while I longed to see
this beautiful island which my parents sadly left behind. Though Andy
Carcia's film was not filmed in Cuba (it was filmed in the Dominican
Republic) it gave me a chance to see a "Cuba" I had only heard about.
As for the film itself, the conflicts of family, politics and love in
the film is beautifully portrayed to reflect what has been a painful
truth to a great number of Cubans. I definitely recommend this to all,
Cubans and non-Cubans alike. I hope Mr. Garcia gets due recognition for
this beautiful body of work. By the way… Is there an accompanying
soundtrack album? The music was phenomenal!
