🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Nanfu Wang constructs the film as both a personal diary and a political inquiry, relying on intimate vérité footage and archival material. She explores not just the Cuban reality but draws unsettling parallels, transforming a private struggle into a universal statement about resilience.

What lingers after the credits is a profound admiration for the subject's courage, coupled with a disquieting reflection on the fragility of assumed freedoms. A necessary and haunting work. — MovieFinder Editorial
