It might have been more effective as a short film. Still, car aficionados, and anyone interested in the political and social changes in Cuba that will be hastened by the restored relations with the U.S., will find much to appreciate here.

"Havana Motor Club" gives moviegoers a nicely turned street-level view of what imminent change means to these particular children of the Revolution.

Mr. Perlmutt ultimately shows that for these drivers, car culture runs deeper than simply winning or losing a race.

A vastly entertaining documentary about the underground drag racing scene in Cuba that is also about as informative a take on the social and economic reforms being pushed by Raul Castro as you can find anywhere.
