Mark Kermode Observer (UK) Although occasionally the multiple plot strands seem to be pulling against each other, there's a warmth to the production that eases us over the structural cracks and makes us care about the outcome. Rated: 3/5 Dec 1, 2013 Full Review Sophie Monks Kaufman Little White Lies This confusing Cuban/Scottish romantic roadtrip movie does offer some very modest pleasures. Rated: 2/5 Nov 29, 2013 Full Review Mike McCahill Guardian Lame gags and supporting turns ensure it concludes closer to Mamma Mia! than Marx. Rated: 2/5 Nov 28, 2013 Full Review Graham Young Birmingham Mail If the plot gets a bit confusing there are mild diversions with the landscapes and music, though even that is unlikely to send you dancing all the way home. Rated: 3/5 Dec 10, 2013 Full Review Emma Johnston Total Film Humour and melodrama rub along uncomfortably, but the likeable leads and gorgeous scenery make this lightweight trip fly by. Rated: 3/5 Nov 25, 2013 Full Review Matthew Turner ViewLondon Watchable British drama enlivened by engaging performances, a terrific soundtrack and a strong sense of location, though the script is occasionally both frustrating and confusing. Rated: 3/5 Jan 22, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I'll keep it short (I wish the film had)... Either I got out the wrong side of the flower bed this morning, or this is a bunch of poppycocks. The only person who comes out smelling faintly of roses is the striking Cuban ballet dancer Carlos Acosta. The others wilt terribly. Lacks depth, chemistry, subtlety and laughs - terminal in a so-called romantic comedy. 100 minutes long, 100 minutes *too* long. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A beautiful and funny film. It will make you want to go to Cuba. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review ernest e I liked it, simple musical predictable pictorial. A lot is said without words here but it all stays at an outer physical level and does not go any deeper within any consciousness. Even a death is not used to enter growth in awareness or consciousness but uses that death for unconscious repressed sexual relational problems. When I was little England was described to me as a sexual repressed country this movie is another perfect confirmation of that repression. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member An entertaining, feel good film. Great music, very pleasing on the eyes. Enough twists in the plot to keep you interested. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved this film! It's great to see a movie that's intelligent, funny and poignant. Carlos Acosta had amazing screen presence and I look forward to seeing him in more films Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
