bill t @Spuzz 05/30/2011 Just ok drama here exploring the hardships of living in Cuba. Gustavo tries to eak out a living in Havana while waiting to go abroad with a scholarship, his dad gets a job at a swanky tourist resort because his psychiatrist job doesnt pay enoughm and his brother seems to do nothing but protest all day long. Meanwhile, Gustavo has his eye on a cute little brunette, but even, yes, she has some secrets. While it's intentions are certainly genuine, I think this was a wee bit too much politics to cram into one movie. Gustavo's problems are interesting, but his brother's are just a bit unneccessary, distracting and, quite frankly, over the top to be in this movie. The cinematography is excellent and whatnot but the story could have used a little simmering down. See more 03/26/2011 Honestly, I only kept watching because I thought Mayte Vilan lit up the screen. Or maybe I just thought she was hot. This is amateur stuff, mediocre and dull. Blah blah blah communism is bad blah blah blah. See more 04/10/2009 A scathing commentary on the failures of the revolution in Cuba. Good performances all around. See more 03/11/2009 Pretty good, but could've been better. At times I didn't know what side it was on. See more 03/01/2009 I found the movie depressing but one that compelled me to watch. See more 07/13/2008 a very odd movie that we had to watch in spansih class. it was pretty good though. See more Read all reviews
