  1. Bravo works too hard at extolling Castro -- The film's historical footage is compelling, though, and provides plenty to think about.

    The tone is doting, but not cloying.
  3. 60
    It's a refreshing change from the self-interest and paranoia that shape most American representations of Castro. At the same time, Bravo anticipates that such a view will drive some nuts.
  4. 20
    Estela Bravo's disgraceful documentary Fidel could have been financed by the man himself.
