It is a country that lies only 90 miles outside of U.S. borders but decades of political discord have kept the story of Cuba from American eyes. 'Una Noche' the feature film debut of British director Lucy Mulloy, tells the story of three brave, and daring teens who venture to cross the treacherous ocean and prevail against a fate of poverty and injustice.
The cinematography is stirring and captivating. The performances are natural and engaging. Mulloy is a brilliant director who presents a seamless motion picture, tenderly and candidly.
The harsh and bleak trappings of scarcity as well as the joy of family and friends play as the background to a cleverly written love triangle. Adrenaline fuels the urgency of the characters' desperation.
As a viewer you feel as though your passport has been stamped. You've received an all expense paid trip to the pain and the paradise of the communist island nation.
It is a film like no other. You hold your breath and pray for the shore line to be merciful --- and edge closer.

It is rare that you see a film with this many strong, intelligent, strategic, upstanding, powerful, determined, witty, authentic, engaging, handsome, and impressive characters. This ensemble cast led by Terrence Howard and Bernie Mac, showcased some very amazing young talent, and made me feel inspired and proud. The story is well crafted, original, and well executed. To know that it is a true story too, is very motivational.One by one the young men win over their antagonists and show that they can become sophisticated and focused young adults, making the transition from childhood to manhood. It was excellent and shows what a few committed men can do to help keep the next generation on track. Excellent work, and I look forward to seeing more from this young director. This film is of the caliber of Pursuit of Happiness.
