Cuban Network

Many people here gave this movie a bad review because they don´t agre with it´s political views. I think that´s dumb. The movie is bad because it´s BORING and it doesn´t care about what it´s telling. Not because it might be historically innacurate or not being anti-castro enough!

BTW, Lots of hollywood movies despict historical events wrong or tergiversed but nobody seems to care this much, usually because they like that version more. They only care about the "agenda" in a movie when it´s different from their own, not when there is one.

After reading a lot of reviews I didn't expect this film would offer much. It was a bit confusing and disjointed but I enjoyed exploring the context of the film and really enjoyed the story of Rene and his family.

Great film. Oddly paced, as many of Olivier Assayas' movies are, but it works. If you are even vaguely familiar with the politics involved, it's not hard to follow. Cast is phenomenal. Beautifully shot. Straightforward storytelling. If you are unfamiliar with assayas' style and are expecting a "blockbuster" action movie, you may be disappointed, as I assume most of the negative reviews were a result of. That's understandable, but I very much enjoyed this movie, and am otherwise not a huge fan of the director.

Without getting onto the political correctness of the film, it was fairly entertaining but lacked direction. The narrative was confusing at times and certain stories seemed to be forgotten or abandoned half way through

I had a great time watching this movie. It is always good to hear the other side of political stories. Yes, there's always another side. So, the movie is entertaining for sure. Every bad (one star) review here is simply politically biased. It is just people that can't stand Cuba's point of view. My advise is that you should watch and judge it by yourself. It's not supposed to be a documentary, but it is an incredible story based on real facts and real people. Have fun.
