Blame It on Fidel!

The film constructs its narrative around a sharp contrast, exploring the grand political upheavals of the 1970s through the limited, intimate perspective of a child. The camera remains close to the young protagonist, capturing her confusion as adult ideologies invade her private world.

What lingers after viewing is a poignant sense of melancholy for lost innocence and the universal child's desire for a stable home, regardless of the political winds. It’s a subtle and powerful reminder of the personal cost of idealism. — MovieFinder Editorial
