R 9 'Habanastation' is a neat flick out of Cuba. I really enjoyed watching it. It's a simple premise and it is told in a pretty standard way, though everything is done competently and entertainingly. Ernesto Escalona and Andy Fornanis give good performances, their onscreen friendship is very convincing by the end. The movie is shot well, though weirdly there are only like two scenes that seem to feature 'proper' cinematography (at least the ones that I remember) and those are involving buses - firstly at the march and then with Claudia Alvariño's character at the station. This isn't a criticism or anything close at all, I'm just saying that those scenes stood out to me more than the rest weirdly. The ending is very sweet, though I'm not convinced Mario made the right decision giving Carlos what he gave him... I'm with Mayito's mum! At least give the kid the old PS2 fgs. Joking aside, this 2011 picture is very good.

Como casi todo el cine cubano de nuestros días, en el subtexto oculta un mensaje socialista, tan bien puesto que la mayoría no lo nota. La belleza de la historia, de los personajes y sobretodo de Cuba (con todo lo que significa), hacen de esta película algo memorable. Debo resaltar lo familiar que se siente el film, hay situaciones, personajes y conflictos comunes a todos los pueblos de nuestro Caribe. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A very good movie. It shows the contradictions inside a system, more than trying to explain them. It's up to you to arrive to an opinion. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
