| OregonianMarc MohanEven when he seems less than forthright, Castro rarely fails to come across as a genial, charismatic guy. But that might just be the magic of the movies. |
| Film4James MottramStone should be justifiably proud, for he has crafted a compulsive piece of cinema. |
| Empire MagazineAlan MorrisonAn opportunity frustratingly squandered, but one which still makes for fascinating viewing thanks to Castro's natural charisma. Errol Morris would have nailed it. |
| GuardianDerek MalcolmFidel is up to everything Stone lobs gently at him, and even replies to the film-maker's rather crass philosophising, of which there is far too much. |
| BBC.comJamie RussellUltimately, Comandante feels like little more than a backslapping love-in. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineWhile it's fascinating to get Castro's perspective ... we can't help but feel that Stone is bending this documentary for his own personal interest. |
| Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttIn all, we get a better sense of who this guy is, a man who has spent more time on the international stage than any world leader today. |
| User ReviewPG MEste documental es asombroso. ¡Fidel es una mente privilegiada |
| User ReviewGilbert MThis is a really good documentary about 30 hours that Oliver Stone spent with Fidel in 2003. Fidel obviously has his flaws, but he makes a better dictator than Bush, and hes obviously a lot smarter. |
| User ReviewGordon Bits Fidel and Oliver.. an amazing documentary, that make you think about some things.. |
