Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: This is an exercise not in biography but in hero worship.
Fresh: Purely propaganda, a work of unabashed hero worship, it is nonetheless -- and likely inadvertently -- a timely and invaluable implicit reminder of the role that U.S. foreign policy has played in the rise of Castro.
Rotten: Sacrifices the value of its wealth of archival foot-age with its less-than-objective stance.
Fresh: We get an image of Big Papa spanning history, rather than suspending it.
