"As an American of Cuban parents, I had always heard the political rhetoric about Cuba as I was growing up. All the while I longed to see this beautiful island which my parents sadly left behind. Though Andy Carcia's film was not filmed in Cuba (it was filmed in the Dominican Republic) it gave me a chance to see a "Cuba" I had only heard about. As for the film itself, the conflicts of family, politics and love in the film is beautifully portrayed to reflect what has been a painful truth to a great number of Cubans. I definitely recommend this to all, Cubans and non-Cubans alike. ..."

Following Fidel Castro's death at the age of 90 in 2016, Andy Garcia expressed, "It is necessary for me to express the deep sorrow that I feel for all the Cuban people both inside and outside of Cuba that have suffered the atrocities and repression caused by Fidel Castro and his totalitarian regime. The promises of his so-called revolution of pluralism and democracy, were to continue to be a false promise and a betrayal of all basic human rights... I pray for what I have always prayed for: the restoration of our constitution and absolute freedom for the people of Cuba. The dream is very much alive. Let the spirit of Jose Marti, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. show us the way."
