The Cuban

I find the plot engaging and touching. The heart of Mina is inspiring. The music is great as well. I enjoyed it a lot.

Watched The Cuban, a beautiful touching film filled with compassion, heartfelt music and inspiration. Lou Gossett Jr and Ana Golja give riveting performances.

Good story, good soundtrack, some good acting, but why is almost every scene in shade and out of focus? Engaging Canadian drama but very hard to watch.

As the director of mambo Man film myself, I found The Cuban beautifully filmed. The lighting was perfect, the story followed all the way through. There was not one moment that I could leave and go to make a cup of coffee. I watched it all in one go to the end and honestly thought it was one of the best films I have seen. It has emotions, sensitivity and above all element of human. Watch it to judge for yourself as I am not going to give anything away! I watch lots of film and 99 times out of 100, I give up after few minutes!

VERY well done movie covering many subjects, aging, how we treat our elders, how music/food affects us, cultural differences, I could go on and on! Don't want to spoil anything so won't detail too much but young pre-med student starts at a nursing home job and meets an elderly resident who is almost catatonic, no words/eating etc. She discovers what makes him more aware and it changes her life as well. Great acting as usual from Louis Gossett Jr and I didn't know Ana Golja but she was great too. Many supporting actors also gave really good performances which added to the story/mood of the film. Music was great as well as the writing, simple yet complicated story. Having waited on seniors for a lot of my career I can tell you they often have GREAT stories to tell and we should pay attention to them. Many pieces of advice they gave me have come in handy. Overall well done, give it a look!
