CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
LeRoyMarko I liked this film, even though I was lost most of the times. The subtitles didn't help. White on white doesn't work! I feel I got robbed from a good chunk of the film. But I still liked it. The cinematography is beautiful, the people too. Yuliet and Fabiola have completely different background, but they do have one point in common: they're both fatherless. Along their quest to learn what happened to their father, we get to see what is their daily life. Some scenes are very emotional: the one where Fabiola is crying in silence for example.Seen at home, in Toronto, on March 14th, 2006.74/100 (**½)
Daniella I was introduced to this film by a friend of mine. What drew me tothe story, more than anything, was the theme of fatherless youngwomen. I, too, was a fatherless young woman up until lastNovember when I finally met my biological father--a physicsprofessor from Venezuela. Fabiola, the beautiful Mexican model, and Yuliet, the beautiful,sassy and broken sixteen year old prostitute from Cuba areamazing to watch. Both young women grew up without knowingtheir biological fathers and carry emotional baggage and painlocked up in their hearts. Although, the subject matter of childprostitution, despair and intense identity crisis seem heavy, thefilm is funny and uplifting. It also is emotionally rich and may verywell make you cry. I found myself wishing the best for both youngwomen. Their beauty and strength of character really struck achord in my heart. Thank you to the director and the young womenwho brought so much to this story.
gato A magnificent look at Cuba from an unique point of view. The photography is superb, the direction as well. Plus, this woman's beauty is as powerful as her story. A must for all movie lovers interested in refreshing their senses.
Moro This is one of those films that makes you feel that the battle of creativity is not lost, and that Hollywood will not reign if there are filmmakers as Carlos Marcovich. This film is unique, is original, is fresh, is sincere.
