Great movie!! A must see. It has depth and it has twists to make it a complete movie that is memorable. You won’t feel like it was wasted time.

More than a movie that flows in a coherent manner, it is one sided feeble attempt to support Cuba’s Oppressive regime.

Horrible Movie! Simply a waste of my time! No way I will watch a movie from this director again and almost cancelled Netflix for this piece of propaganda, if it wasn’t for my kids I’d be out!

Lying version of the story where figures from Miami's historic exile are ridiculed, an affront to the pain of the mothers and family of the victims of "Brothers to the rescue".

It is based on a true story but alters and manipulates the facts. As a cinema it is a disaster. Garbage.

His most recent installment, is an adaptation of the book The Last Soldiers of the Cold War.
The story is about a group of spies that infiltrated various Cuban-American groups in the 90s. So it goes without saying the story was quite interesting and above all had the additional advantage of being a true story.

Wasp Network is a film that feels that was intended to be more complex but cannot deliver and becomes an experience full of irregularity.
Not only did it fail to become a better drama but it also falls short of becoming a much more thrilling story despite having the elements to do it.
The cast may be enough to draw audiences, but Assayas doesn't give them much to explore.

The film lacks depth despite having a dense narrative, and gets to a point where perspective is somewhat lost considering the implications and political scenario of the events surrounding the characters' actions.

It was a good idea but the execution didn't feel right.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The narrative is poorly constructed at more than a hour of the movie there’s a narrator that has never been heard before, dialogues are on the nose and the scenes seems to be isolated one from the other Expand

Don't waste your time. Historically inaccurate propaganda. You won't be educated, you will be left confused. And in today's already misleading and confusing political climate and tensions, people need to be educated with the truth and not with lies.
