| User ReviewLaura EHow can't this movie even have a poster? is just sublime, the changes between dreams and reality is surreal and talks about that jail of shit that are going to close finally. |
| User ReviewHadley HGuantanamero - An escapee from Guantanamo Bay (Ali) finds himself clueless with what's going on with himself. He meets a man who eventually connects him to his sister, Manuela. He finds himself falling for her, but obviously he's afraid of his past that haunts him in his dreams. His fear was confirmed after meeting Guido, an elderly man who's equally attracted to Manuela. One day, Guido gives him an Arabic-English dictionary, to his ultimate suprise. He did received that dictionary from the warders of Guantanamo Bay detention.... |
| User ReviewTravis SIt definitely is a thought provoking movie, at least till the end. I don't really understood what that was all about.... So if anyone has any good interpretations, you're welcome to write me. |
| User ReviewHeather MPensaba que era una denuncia mas fuerte sobre Guantanamo pero es mas acerca de la confusion mental que sufre el personaje que se pone en el lugar de los reos sin serlo. El recurso de los flasbacks y los pensamientos de Ali son un poco cansinos, aunque muchas de las escenas en camara lenta logran cierto encanto. Lo mejor fueron las imagenes de la Habana con unos filtros de color muy bonitos. |
| User ReviewJames HUnfocused and poorly directed. Slow moving, not very involving. The acting is good though. I just could not get into the film, it never drew me into the story.Poiuntless and boring. |
