Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Dalbert Pringle And, what does the image of "Che" mean to you? Believe it, or not - This one, single, iconic image of Argentinian revolutionary, Ernesto "Che" Guevara (which was taken by fashion photographer, Alberto Korda in 1960) has become (sometimes illegally) one of the most reproduced likenesses in modern-day history.Through archival footage, interviews, and informative narration - The viewer learns everything there is to know (who, what, when, where, why and how) that directly relates to this particular photograph of "Che" (who, at 39, was assassinated in 1967) which has clearly become such a vastly recognizable image like no other.
