Reviews
“This isn’t “Buena Vista Social Club” …or a real-life “Fast and Furious.” Mr. Perlmutt ultimately shows that for these drivers, car culture runs deeper than simply winning or losing a race.”
Nicolas Rapold – The New York Times
“El documental es un espectáculo mecánico, de humor y de resiliencia cubana. Tan entretenido como ilustrativo, Havana Motor Club levanta la tapa del motor de Cuba y enseña varias claves que ayudan a comprender la compleja maquinaria de esta sociedad.”
Pablo de Llano – El País
