written by Alessandra Piccione and directed by Sergio Navarretta, "The Cuban" ...perfectly captures the dementia-stricken mental state in a visually engaging and dynamic way
a sweet but slight tale of memory and unlikely friendship; Perhaps sensing that the rest of his story falls emotionally flat, Navarretta lavishes attention on his two marquee players, creating tiny moments of poignancy
a pleasant, plangent hybrid of culture-clash drama, odd-couple formula and late-life Bucket List bromide; Louis Gossett Jr. and a jazzy, salsa-dipped soundtrack enliven the formulaic story of an elderly dementia patient bonding with his career
