Critic Reviews

Staff (Not Credited)

An entertaining and well-crafted political satire that is definitely worth a look. Read full review

Vincent Canby

Though a lot of the dialogue would seem absurd even on daytime soap opera, the movie keeps coming up with scenes so arresting or eccentric you are aware of the wicked intelligence behind them. Read full review

Jay Scott

Mostly, Cuba is boring. [24 Dec 1979]

Staff (Not Credited)

Marvelous atmosphere and individual scenes, but not quite a movie. [31 Dec 1979, p.12]

David Ansen

By the time this atmospheric but thoroughly muddled story reaches its conclusion, the film has totally self-destructed. [31 Dec 1979, p.49]

Havana, Cuba, 1959. Lucky they print this on the screen, as it's the first and last coherent piece of information you can glean from Lester's political love story, which mentions neither politics nor love but plays out its actions against a background of both. Read full review

Cuba is a hollow, pointless non-drama. Read full review
