  • Summary: Billed as "a musical road movie," Cuba Feliz follows the wanderings of charismatic, 76-year-old Miguel Del Morales, known as El Gallo (The Rooster), as he travels throughout Cuba, making music in the homes of friends, in bars and on street corners, in courtyards and stairwells.

    The film is music from beginning to end, and nearly every note of it is magical.
  2. 75
    It's hard to focus on the travails when the music is so lively and good.
  3. 50
    While the performances are often engaging, this loose collection of largely improvised numbers would probably have worked better as a one-hour TV documentary.
