5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT MOVIE!, January 25, 2000

A MOVIE UNLIKE ANY I HAD EVER SEEN, CLEARLY MADE BY THE LENS OF SOMEONE WHO HAS LIVED THE EXPERIENCE OF BEING AN ALIEN IN A NEW COUNTRY. WITTY, FUNNY AND PROFOUND AT THE SAME TIME. HIGHLY RECOMMENDABLE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Legends do tend to be hidden at times., May 3, 2000

Fantastic film of the Cuban diaspora in its initial stages. Yes, it was situations that the movie portrays, that were the nightmare of many Cubans. I think the films ending is about the dream that many Cubans had and have achieved.

The film does project a lifestyle that was commonly seen in other non Cuban latins. In reality, Cubans did not make their abode in Upper Manhattan for too long, and most achieved the American dream in a matter of years.

Hidalgo-Gato, we will miss you dearly.

tHIS IS A WONDERFUL MOVIE ABOUT A HUMBLE CUBAN FAMILY IN EXILE. THE ACTING IS SUPERB. THE PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE DIRECTION FLAWLESS --AND IT HITS THE HEART OF ALL THOSE WHO HAVE HAD TO RUN AWAY FROM YOUR COUNTRY AND START ANEW! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED,
