An entertaining and well-crafted political satire that is definitely worth a look.

Marvelous atmosphere and individual scenes, but not quite a movie. [31 Dec 1979, p.12]

Havana, Cuba, 1959. Lucky they print this on the screen, as it's the first and last coherent piece of information you can glean from Lester's political love story, which mentions neither politics nor love but plays out its actions against a background of both.

By the time this atmospheric but thoroughly muddled story reaches its conclusion, the film has totally self-destructed. [31 Dec 1979, p.49]

Cuba is a hollow, pointless non-drama.
