It's about time

I saw this movie at a special showing in Los Angeles and although I had gone with the idea that it would focus on Cuba's history during the 1959-1960 period, it turned out to be more about the destruction of a prominent family. After "adjusting" my thinking to this fact, I found the movie to be extremely well done as it very poignantly depicts what so, so many families went through, including my own. I highly recommend this movie to all Cubans, those in exile as well as to their children born in the U.S. or elsewhere and specially to all those people who still think that Fidel and "El Che" are heroes. This film shows a little of what they truly are. My very deep respect and thankfulness go to Andy Garcia for having the guts to make this movie and to everyone that worked in it in any way. It's about time!
