    The surprisingly watchable delight strikes universal chords.

    An elusive but intermittently beautiful tone poem.

    Aspires to the poetic but falls short because of a lack of dynamism.

    Uncompromising art house triumph. The best Cuban film in decades.

    Superb! I saw this movie in Habana in an old theater packed with Cubans when it first came out in 2003 . There was not a single dry eye--including those of the tough Cuban 20-something boy sitting next to us-- in the house when it was through. I don't care what the "critics" say; clearly they haven't been to Cuba and don't understand that what is on the screen is the way people *really* live (and it actually just barely touches the surface). It vivedly portrays the struggle to hang on both economically and spiritually. You don't go to see this movie to be entertained, you go to learn something and open your heart and mind to how Habaneros make it through each day.… Expand

    Quite possibly my favorite Cuban film of the many I've seen. Reminiscent of La Ciudad, a dialog-free tribute to humanity. Moving, real and poignant. Well-lit, scored, directed and acted by non-professionals. A movie for non-critics apparently.… Expand
