2.5/4
Aside from a few technical quibbles, The Cuban is a fairly pleasant cross-generational, cross-cultural drama. Go to Full Review
Jessica Kiang Variety Jul 30, 2020
A pleasant, plangent hybrid of culture-clash drama, odd-couple formula and late-life Bucket List bromide. Go to Full Review
Glenn Kenny New York Times Jul 30, 2020

5/10

3.5/5
