Hello, my name is Anna and I am nine years old. I wish you had known me before - I mean before my aunt Marga and my cousin Pilar came to my parents'house -, I was such a happy little girl.

Full Plot Details

Hello, my name is Anna and I am nine years old. I wish you had known me before - I mean before my aunt Marga and my cousin Pilar came to my parents'house -, I was such a happy little girl. Before their coming life was a bed of roses. Of course my little brother could be a pain in the neck - little brothers always are, aren't they? - but there was that wonderful big house, there was my Cuban-born nanny who cooked so well, there was the bath before dinner, not to mention this wonderful catechism class at the catholic school. But they did come, those Spanish intruders. And now never heard before names like "Franco", "Allende", "Women's Lib", "abortion", the lot, have got into my life. Daddy and Mummy have suddenly become "communists", although this a term that Bon Papa and Bonne Maman (my grandparents from Bordeaux, in fact) just hate. Because of the intruders not only did we move to a tiny apartment but the place is invaded day and night by "barbudos" (bearded men). No more bath before dinner and no more catechism class. How long will I be able to tolerate such a scandal?

Movie Reviews

Slant Magazine - 9/10 by Paul SchrodtGavras uses Anna's precocious reason to tackle a generation's idealism head-on.
Murphy's Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Ted MurphyThe film beautifully captures the interplay between self-involved parents who expect their children to embrace their beliefs and the free-thinking young girl with a mind of her own.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Robin Clifford...an adult-level film that does a great job of giving a child's view of a world in the throes of change.
Boston Globe - 9/10 by Wesley MorrisBrilliantly, the movie becomes a double coming-of-age story. The parents' political awakening parallels their daughter's.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Carina ChocanoBlame It on Fidel is the thoroughly engaging, clear-eyed and charming story of a little girl grappling with the domestic fallout of tumultuous political times.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertThe film contains a surprising amount of understated humor. It is not a grim portrayal of a harsh upbringing, but an affectionate portrait of parents who will be able to change the world before they will be able to change their daughter.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 9/10 by Bill WhiteGavras does not impose a political viewpoint upon her material, but respects the convictions of her various characters.
Seattle Times - 9/10 by Ted FryBlame it on Fidel! is a knowing lesson in film and history that often makes its serious point with a dose of wise humor.
Film Journal International - 9/10 by David NohFrom solemn little Kervel, Gavras has drawn one of the great child performances on film.
BBC.com - 8/10 by Laura BushellWhat makes this film a real gem is Kervel's brilliant performance, personifying this stage of growing up with a perfect balance of bratishness, bright intellect, humour and innocence. She's a revelation.
