Glimcher's movie knows how to let down its hair and live for the night.

RTTime OutFeb 9, 2006

A spirited evocation of the mambo craze which swept post-war America, adapted from Oscar Hijuelos' Pulitzer Prize-winning novel.

RTNew York TimesAug 30, 2004

It's as if there were a terrible telephone connection between the film's vivid sound track and its tepid romantic melodrama, to which the music is supposed to give style and substance.

The ingredients are good, but the film is dangerous and treacherous. [Full review in Spanish]
