Leave your thoughts about Cuba and the Cameraman.
| The Daily DotKahron SpearmanHe makes no bones about his leanings, and make no apologies, which lend significantly to the documentary. Whatever your politics, it's a stunning achievement. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenAs a decades-long, ground-level portrait of the country, [Alpert's] vibrant film is unprecedented. |
| IndiewireDavid EhrlichCuba and the Cameraman, while essentially a greatest hits collection for Alpert’s career, never feels recycled. It also never feels Frankensteined together. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlCuba and the Cameraman distills thousands of hours of footage into 113 lively, whirlwind minutes, covering big news events — the Mariel Boatlift; a Castro visit to the United Nations; the Communist leader’s death in 2016 — but also always taking the time to capture the everyday drift of life. |
| The Hollywood ReporterNeil YoungA work of old-school humanism that hovers between pro-Revolutionary fervor and a more objective documentary stance, Cuba and the Cameraman is sustained by the strong bonds of trust which the gregarious Alpert has evidently been able to maintain with Cubans from various echelons of this theoretically classless society. |
| Common Sense MediaBrian CostelloInteresting but long docu on Cuba under Castro. |
| New York TimesGlenn KennyIn part because of its political blind spots, Cuba and the Cameraman is captivating. (Whatever you think of Mr. Alpert’s perspective, it’s interesting.) But it’s mostly worth watching because of human stories like these. |
| User ReviewJim MIt really IS a 5 star production. He treats Cuba like a family member; not blind to its faults, but always with love. Having visited multiple times myself as a gringo tourist I nevertheless have experienced a similar strain of joie de vive, open friendliness, and a deeply rooted pride and strength of the people. What a marvelous look at this extraordinary island nation. |
| User ReviewSelena RSuch a great film! I visited Cuba three years ago- and Jon Alpert did an exceptional job of documenting the culture and the history. It was right in line with my experiences, and I am so grateful this is being shared widely. Muchas gracias! |
| User ReviewQahira Ean unbiased portrayal of what has been going on in the lives of everyday Cubans for more than 40 years. I really enjoyed this film. It touches on a lot of important issues without being heavy-handed. |
