| WBAI Web RadioPrairie MillerThis unlikely friendship is sealed by potent elements that have much to do with a spontaneous rapport and instinctively human connectedness that transcend family social and political differences. |
| User ReviewPedro LMe encanto super bonita. Los nenes son geniales en esta. Y los acentos cubanos hacen del dialogo mas gracioso. Que Viva Cuba |
| User ReviewLazara CLove this movie! Really charming kids from two classes that love each other and it probably shows the most when they're angry at one another. I enjoyed the story and the trek across Cuba showing different sides of the country and even adding to the story as it unfolds. |
| User ReviewGolden SBeautiful story of friendship and innocence. It also reminds us that life in Cuba is much more than the usual headlines we read about politics. |
| User ReviewRicardo LA surrealistic and a superb movie. Beautifully directed and characterized. The best thing in the movie is children are neither sibblings nor couples just pure friends. Also the movie has shone the true colours of children and injects in me some nostalgia. A must watch movie. Especially for those who have lost the age of innocence. |
