| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThis charming cross-cultural tale is the promising feature debut by a young Mexcian director. |
| Not Coming to a Theater Near YouMatt BaileyThe film took nearly two years to complete, and it's amazing, in consideration of its subject and content, that the film has any coherence at all. |
| CinenganosAlex RamirezEs obvia la experiencia fotográfica del director: hay escenas grandiosas. |
| User ReviewGabriela CThe editing in this documentary is amazing, the way he uses it to tell the story, he never disrespects Fabiola and Yuliet's stories. and it is NOT IRRELEVANT, as one of the "critics" said... it is a jewel of Latinamerican cinema |
| User ReviewSebastian RWHO THE HELL IS JULIETTE can come off as tedious once you realize that the whole movie is a nonlinear cluster of pseudo-documentary avant gardism yet if you're attuned to the charms of the film you allow the waves to wash over you like those at the coast of Havana. The photography, the music, and the story is remarkable- it comes to life with the authenticity of the Mexican, American, and Cuban locales. It's dirty, it's gorgeous, it's exotic and tragic. I haven't seen a collection of unforgettable characters all gathered together in a movie like this in a long time. I'm very happy to have stumbled across this fantastic gem. It's beautiful to see a movie so reckless with it's emotions and so open with sexuality- I was very taken by it. |
| User ReviewGabo LAyer... volvi a ver esta peli... que fue de las primeras que me hicieron pensar en un cine diferente... me gusta aun hoy y me parece una interesante narrativa de una historia verdadera que nos da una probadita de cuba de manera poco convencional... |
| User ReviewMubin STouching insight into Cuba. If you can't make it there and see for yourself, the movie will give you a small glimpse. |
