Critics consensus

“Blame it on Fidel is a charming comedy of manners, class, and politics, elevated by a remarkable performance from lead child actor Nina Kervel.”

RTChicago ReaderDec 4, 2007

The young heroine is rather humorless, but Gavras's intelligence and skillful touch are evident throughout.

RTSeattle TimesOct 19, 2007

Blame it on Fidel! is a knowing lesson in film and history that often makes its serious point with a dose of wise humor.

RTDaily Telegraph (UK)Oct 19, 2007

A smashing, funny and politically sophisticated feature debut from Julie (daughter of Costa) Gavras.

RTDennis Schwartz Movie ReviewsJan 17, 2008

It offers a coming-of-age tale told unflaggingly from the point of view of a pouting, humorless and unsympathetic nine-year-old.
