Michael Nordine Village Voice Sin Alas matches the half-awake feeling evoked by Luis's ruminations - on love, on Cuba's history, and on himself - well enough to feel authentic even when it meanders too far from what makes it most compelling. May 4, 2016 Full Review Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.com "Sin Alas" is emotional and dense, thought-provoking and intelligent, and it's all held together by music, Lima's poem, colors, sounds. Rated: 3.5/4 May 4, 2016 Full Review Manohla Dargis New York Times Mr. Chace does his finest work with Mr. Padrón, and together director and actor create a portrayal of a man who, even as he's stirred to action, seems increasingly burdened by his sentimental education. May 3, 2016 Full Review Terence Johnson AwardsCircuit.com On the one hand it's a wonderful look into a culture that we don't particularly see, at times searingly acted... On the other hand, it is an, at times, incomprehensible mixture of memory and modern day that goes off the rails. Rated: 2/4 Aug 26, 2018 Full Review Ken Eisner Georgia Straight The nonprofessional actors are engaging, and the settings fascinate, of course. But the period re-creations in his flashbacks are repetitive. Oct 12, 2016 Full Review Amy Taubin Artforum Sin Alas is not a political film; rather it shows how people's lives are defined by personal relationships on which political systems have little effect.
