Review of Barrio Cuba

Barrio Cuba (2005)
1/10
comparable in quality to the worst Latin soap operas
10 November 2008
This is without doubt one of the worst films I have ever seen.

I was really looking forward to it after going to Cuba for the first time this summer and seeing the tough life people live there and being a fan of Humberto Solás' early work.

The acting is truly dreadful and the script is worse - with all the important plot information delivered to the viewer through hackneyed dialogue in the least discreet way possible. The music is incredibly abrasive, which given Cuba's bountiful supply of great musicians is inexcusable.

Very disappointing. It's hard to believe this is from the same director as Lucía.
