Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The eventual worldwide recognition of Underdevelopment as one of Cuba's finest films speaks as much for the frozen moment it captures as for its unimpeachable quality.

fresh:
Alea proceeds with dazzling and highly accomplished technique towards a perceptive and witty analysis.
– Rod McShane,

fresh:
A thoroughly mature and original creation.
