Leave your thoughts about Papa Hemingway in Cuba.
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekBeautiful images are at war with clichéd writing and weak acting in...this sincere but sad misfire. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleA remarkable treat. It contains information about the writer heretofore unknown, and though it’s a dramatic feature and not a documentary, it claims to tell the truth, without embellishment. Even better, it was written by someone who saw the events depicted firsthand. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonDisappointingly plodding and ham-fistedly obvious in its attempts to offer an up-close and personal portrait of a mood-swinging, self-loathing 59-year-old Ernest Hemingway. |
| The Patriot LedgerAl AlexanderIt turns one of America's larger-than-life icons into a sniveling, paranoid old man, who -- in Sparks' incapable hands -- lacks an ounce of gravitas. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongRichardson deserves better. Hemingway certainly deserves better. And so does the audience. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezPlayed by Adrian Sparks in a style better suited for dinner theater or a Key West tourist attraction, Hemingway comes across as a complete cypher. Everyone in the film keeps talking about his genius, but other than a scene in which he writes a short story on the back of a napkin, the movie doesn’t try to humanize or explore his talent. |
| We Got This CoveredBrent HankinsPapa Hemingway In Cuba is a fascinating depiction of the great American author's later years, anchored by a strong performance from veteran stage actor Adrian Sparks |
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonWhile the lackluster drama includes Hemingway, it's more about a Hemingway fan. |
| San Jose Mercury NewsKaren D'SouzaYari's earnest but plodding biopic lacks a sense of sweep and truth, trading tropical landscapes for narrative depth in a way that diminishes the power of the Hemingway mystique. |
| The Newnan Times-HeraldJonathan W. HickmanSincerely written and well acted "Papa Hemingway in Cuba" is a micro-budgeted film that will play well for students of the famous author. |
