This movie is extremely well made, and the interviews are very informative. But the cast is very sparse. It's a great film, and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in Latino American culture. I haven't heard of any other documentary about the state of the Latino community, so I can't compare this to any other films. I'd like to know what other people think of it, so I will be watching it again in a few weeks.

With a little creativity and a little humility, this film brings a window into Cuba and its people in the midst of the revolution. While I didn't know a lot about Cuba before watching this film, I have read a lot about the revolution, and I have always wondered how the revolution could have changed so drastically. I also had the experience of living in Cuba in the early 80s, so I have a lot of knowledge and a lot of personal experience. It is quite clear to me that the filmmakers have done an excellent job bringing this documentary to life. I highly recommend this film to anyone interested in the topic of the Cuban revolution, and I hope that other filmmakers learn from their mistakes.

This is a really good documentary. It is one of the best documentaries I have seen in a long time. This is a film that should be seen by all Americans. It is about the average Cubans. If you are not familiar with Cubans, you may find the film a little slow to watch, but it is an interesting look at their everyday lives. This is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. I can't wait to see the next one that will be released. The second one will be released next week. You should definitely go see this one. This is a great film, and I recommend it to anyone who has not seen it.

My dad, my brothers and I watched this film at our local cinema a couple of years ago. I remember having watched it many times when I was a kid but was somewhat wary of it at first. I'm not that big a fan of nature documentaries (I'd rather watch documentaries about animals than just about anything else), but this was a different type of documentary. The directors really pushed the boundaries of what was possible. It was a kind of documentary that is really hard to do because the viewer has to really pay attention to what they are seeing, and then it really gets into the meat of the story. It was just amazing to watch the families struggle to survive. I'd recommend this film to anybody who wants to get a more thorough view of what the Caribbean is really like. I'm looking forward to the next one.

I did not want to write a review of this documentary, because it was not very good. I am not surprised by this, because I do not want to be anti-Cuban. I just wanted to point out the fact that this documentary is not very good. The only reason that it got a good rating was because of the music. I do not care what is said in the movie, because I cannot judge it. I have a lot of experience with Cuba, and the music is just the same. I think that it is better to use a good movie, than to use a bad movie. If you do not have any knowledge of Cuba, you will not understand the movie. I have seen several movies about Cuba, and most of them are not very good. There are some good documentaries, but they are not very good. I do not want to comment about the quality of the movie. However, it does not make a very good documentary. I am not against Cuban food, but they do not have enough money to buy the food. I am against the Cuban government, but I do not see that they have enough money. If you are interested in Cuba, go to the internet. I think that it is good to learn about Cuba, but not to use this knowledge to make a bad movie. My vote is eight. Title (Brazil): 'O Vida' ('Our Life')

On the whole I thought this documentary was a wonderful insight into the amazing food scene in Cuba. It was informative, well made, and at times funny. I loved it and will definitely purchase the DVD. I thought the filmmaker did a great job in making a film about a subject that I am not familiar with. I don't know much about Cuba, but I can tell you that it is a very unique place and the food that I saw here was very impressive. I think that the documentary was great because it gave me a new perspective on a topic that I have not really heard much about before. The people in the documentary were very nice and very passionate about their food and the people they had been feeding. They were very informative and they made you want to know more about Cuba. I also thought that the acting was very good. The people that were interviewed were very interesting and I could tell that they were passionate about their food and their people. They were very real and I could relate to their experiences. Overall I think that the film was very educational and I recommend that everyone who is interested in food see this film. It is definitely worth your time and money. I think that everyone should see it.

This is the first feature-length film I have seen by the director, Zora Neale Hurston, and it is a big step up from her previous films, "The Funeral" and "A Streetcar Named Desire." "Daughters of the Dust" was very stylish but the songs are too loud and forced. The subtitles for the songs are very poor. "Daughters of the Dust" was not much of a "film" and the cinematography was not very good. This was a real step up from "The Funeral" and this film was also released theatrically. It is not a great film but it is a good one and it is worth seeing. The stories are interesting and interesting actors are in the film. These are my opinions and I do not pretend to be an expert. My opinion is that this is a film worth seeing.

The food scene in Havana is a place that you cannot walk to without experiencing some sort of food addiction. Everyone's favorite must-eat is the Cuban sandwich, topped with some sort of "crispy" sauce. Cuban men eat all day long, and they don't have time to be anything but busy. In fact, the barista in the cafe was the only one that came in, which made it a bit awkward. I wish they would've made more clips to showcase the rest of the city. Like when they show the women in the taxi pool, and how they take their first shots of the camera. They just captured the best of what they saw. In fact, the film is a little one-sided, but it was still a great documentary to watch. The only reason I gave it an 8 was because I felt like it would've been better if it wasn't tied to the US history, but I think that's what it was designed for. I hope they make more films like this. If you're going to go to Cuba, go to the country, not the tourist spots. I think it's a great trip, and I'm glad it's on Netflix. It will be hard to find this documentary anywhere, unless you know a couple people that are interested in this trip, you should definitely check it out.

This is an excellent film. While it's not the kind of documentary you would expect, it is a fine documentary. It covers the four main ingredients in Cuban cooking: The man, the woman, the children, and the cooking. The film covers all four in depth and does so in a way that is both fascinating and informative. The interviewees are very knowledgeable about the history of Cuba and the challenges of living in Cuba. The film is well edited and is very well written. I would recommend this documentary to anyone who wants to learn more about the history of Cuba.

Like all good documentaries, the production values and style are top notch, with fine photography and a sweet narrative, a combination which is easily recognizable. The story is familiar. The film focuses on the efforts of a group of Cuban Americans in Miami to open restaurants in Cuba, only to be shut down by the Cuban government. The story is well told, but the authenticity of the subject matter and the message are what really makes this a good film. The director, Cuban American filmmaker Leo Castellanos, uses his own experiences as a chef to tell the story of these restaurants, making them a personal statement about Cuban food, Cuba, and the United States of America. His style is not fast or noisy, but steady and precise, a style that keeps the viewer's attention and is punctuated by moments of sadness, humor, and honest emotion. As a documentary, "Cuban Food Stories" is a success. It's a story about food, about Cuba, and about the people who make it. It's a good, solid documentary that you can watch with your family and friends, without a problem.

This is the kind of film that needs to be made more often. It doesn't try to be a documentary about food or nutrition or nutrition itself, it simply tells the story of Cuban families from around the world and gives them the opportunity to tell their stories. I have visited Cuba in the past, and in many ways, I felt that this film captures the country beautifully, from the sound of the wind blowing across the mountain tops, to the walking distance from the airport to the great cafeterias, to the lovely restaurants in the capital city. It's really amazing to see the difference that can be made by having a personal connection to a place like Cuba. The film shows the stories of the Cuban people in their own words. Many of the people interviewed here have brought their own families over to visit Cuba, and they share their stories about what they saw, and how they felt. The film is incredibly informative and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in Cuba or nutrition or any of the other topics it covers.

You are probably familiar with the story of how a small Cuban family of 14 people built a beautiful home in a remote area of San Juan Bautista, Cuba, and what it took to bring it to the world. They had to leave their tiny village behind to move to San Juan Bautista, where they found jobs as "labor contractors" to make their dream home a reality. While watching this film you feel like you're learning more about the people behind this humble story. This documentary is an important reminder to Americans that the people of Cuba are the real heroes of our history, and to celebrate that momentous occasion. I am so proud to have been one of the first American filmmakers to visit Cuba, and I am thrilled to be able to share this story with my family and friends.

I was very surprised by the number of people who responded to this documentary. It was very inspiring. There were several kinds of food stories from all around the world. One that I had heard was from the Philippines, but there were others from all over the world. I was surprised that people could tell so many stories from so many different cultures. I have been to Spain, Italy, India, and the USA and all over Europe. So it is amazing that so many different cultures came together to share their stories. The people in the restaurant were so supportive of this documentary. One woman said that she had been a child of migrant workers and how she had had a difficult childhood. It is interesting to see the way that people have different values and cultures and the cultures that they have changed over time. I had heard that the food was wonderful and had seen the photographs of the food. It was so refreshing to see that different cultures and countries can come together and share the same food. The food is amazing, but it is also a lot of work. The photographer did a great job of capturing the food. The food was delicious and different. The way that different cultures came together to share their stories is amazing. It is great to see that people from all over the world can come together and share their stories. I recommend this movie to anyone who has not heard of this story before.

I grew up with Cuban food in my native country of Cuba. My mom used to bring home a huge jar of beans every week, and whenever we went out to eat Cuban food, I would always order a chocolate bar. When I decided to visit the U.S., I took my mom to Cuban food restaurants, and she was never disappointed. She had no idea what I was talking about. She was shocked to learn that the food was called "Cuban". They didn't call it "Cuban food", they called it "Cuban Food". She never asked why, but I think she just wasn't interested in the subject. Now I have learned about Cuban food, and I'm a big fan of the food. I've had it for so many years that I know how it's prepared, what's in it, and I know it pretty well. I'm also familiar with the history of Cuban food. This documentary is more of a look into the "Cuban style" of cooking, and more about the personalities behind it. It's not really a "documentary", it's more like a documentary about a food. The food itself is the most important part of this film, and it's amazing to see how well the food is prepared and prepared properly. I have been told that this documentary is really good, and I don't know if that's true or not. It was interesting and I enjoyed it. It's definitely not the best food documentary ever, but it's still pretty good.

I saw this film at a special screening in the west end of London, and was surprised to hear that it was made in Cuba. I had heard of the country, but I didn't know how it was until I saw this film. The main character in this film is one of my favourite Cubans, and I loved the way the film was filmed, the location, the music, the characters, and how the film was very professional. I was moved by the way the characters moved through their lives, and how the film was respectful to the Cuban people, and the different countries they come from. It made me think about the relationship between the US and Cuba, and what can be done for Cuba. I think the film was very accurate, and showed that despite everything, they are still there.

Every Cuban in the world has to experience what it is like to live in an island that has no money. The documentary tells the stories of several different families who have their own unique stories and why they are in the island in the first place. What the film shows is the consequences of the poverty and the loss of the land. The children of the poor families are in a constant state of hunger, the older ones are in pain from being forced to sell their land to the rich, the children are doing some strange things. The families are not happy. The camera work is very powerful and shows the feelings of the people and their families.

I will never get tired of watching this documentary. Its awesome. Funny, inspiring, and heart-wrenching. Its just a wonderful movie. Anytime you see a guy with a beautiful face, you know you're in for a ride. The people in this film are amazing. They have lived a very difficult life. They've gone through all the struggles of living in Cuba, and they're so thankful for the opportunities that they have. The pain, the fear, the loneliness, the frustration, all of it is beautifully shown. Its a great movie and I love it so much.

The first part of this documentary was very interesting. It showed the different stories of the people involved in the Cuban food trade. However, it wasn't as good as the second part. It is a lot better when it comes to the action of the people themselves. We get to know the people more, and it really makes us feel for them. This documentary shows us the people's motivations, and that it is not just a simple trade. It is a very real and real issue. The second part is also very good. It is very detailed about the food trade. It is really intense and very interesting to see the consequences of that trade on the people themselves. This documentary is definitely worth watching.

Most people will likely enjoy this film for the first half hour, but if you have ever wondered why so many cultures tend to consume a wide variety of foods in such small quantities, you might want to give this film a look. I found the first half hour of the film to be a little too superficial and not really revealing enough. The second half is a little more interesting, but I think the film would have benefited from a couple of more minutes of depth. I also found the images of the day to day life of the various cultures to be very interesting. I have been visiting Cuba for the last few years and really enjoy the food and culture. I will definitely recommend this film to anyone who loves a good film about food and culture.

A short film from Cuba on their culture, the cuisine, and the people. Very interesting and interesting to see how they live and how they cook. Very well done. Not a lot of detail about the food, but they did a good job of showing how they cook. Also, they get into the history of their culture and how it came to be. Great! The music in the movie was amazing and makes you feel like you're in a different time period. They're trying to get people to go to Cuba and see the food and culture. They do a good job of showing the Cuban culture, as well as the food. If you're a fan of Cuban food, you'll enjoy this movie. The food is also very unique and delicious. You'll definitely want to watch this movie.
