Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
'The Lost City' is intriguing as a historical document and adequate as cinema, but it has a blandness at its core that no amount of spicy mambo and booty-quaking dance routines can disguise.

fresh:
When it succeeds, the film conveys a bittersweet longing for a lost moment and the unfulfilled promise of a democratic Cuba.

rotten:
It's handsome and heartfelt but mired in murky politics, plot inertia, musical montages and painfully pointed symbolism.

rotten:
Garcia needed better guiding hands and eyes in the editing room to jettison the many parts that bog down the story.

Unsteady but often entrancing.
