I Am Cuba Ratings & Reviews
Spectrum Culture
David Harris
With Donald Trump set to return to power, I Am Cuba may be a difficult watch, especially for those unwilling to surrender their freedom to a self-proclaimed "strongman."
Metro Arts
Michael J. Casey
Invigorating cinema.
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
One of the most extraordinary pieces of revolutionary propaganda ever produced, as vibrant and vital as anything the Soviets released during the silent era.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
I Am Cuba is a cinephile's wet dream, a collage of Herculean feats of technical wizardry that would be easy to dismiss if it wasn't so humane.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Some of the most exhilarating camera movements and most luscious black-and-white cinematography you'll ever see inhabit this singular, delirious 141-minute communist propaganda epic.
TV Guide
The film is immensely entertaining and occasionally inspiring, a delirious combination of Slavic solemnity, Latin exoticism, Communist idealism and breathtakingly beautiful images. It is best enjoyed on the big screen.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
It is one of the most visually hypnotic films ever -- and that's not hyperbole.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
The resulting assault is so epicly impassioned it's less about Cuba per se than the fusillade of movement, shadow, light, vertigo, and landscape on the viewer's tender optic nerves.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
It is a dream of life in which everything is reduced to black and white. Or as the rhetoric used to go, you are either part of the problem or part of the solution. Nothing was ever quite that simple.
F5 (Wichita, KS)
Jake Euker
Propaganda that transcends its own numbskull earnestness... When it connects, it's as poweful as anything you've ever seen.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The film fails to convince in its propaganda, but as a goofy view of a new Cuba it is heartily appreciated.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
As an example of lyrical black and white filmmaking, it is still stunning. If you see it, try to figure out how the camera floated down that wall.
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
In a sense, it's a movie about looking past surfaces to see what's in front of you. It takes the time to look around and discovers majesty, beauty and pathos everywhere it turns.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
One of the most stylistically vigorous films of all time.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Audacious, thrilling, erotic (and in three languages, no less), I Am Cuba is a lost masterpiece of filmmaking finally seeing the light of day 30 years after its production.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Chris Hicks
While it has its clumsy elements, there is no denying its remarkable cinematic impact.
HotWired's Pop
Phil Hall
Brilliant work of Soviet propaganda.
San Francisco Examiner
Scott Rosenberg
It still has power to surprise and, occasionally, to enchant.
