moten200 Review of Papa Hemingway in Cuba

Papa Hemingway in Cuba (2015)

Good if you already know a lot about Hemingway...

[5/10 · 29 April 2016]

As my title to this review states if one knows a lot about Hemingway's life this movie might be an enjoyable experience. If you don't know much you may get lost in the story. I have read the majority of Hemingway's books and just about everything available about his personal life. Still, the film twists a few facts and leaves out significant pieces of information. There are a few story lines that don't connect very well. Hemingway's alleged knowledge of a cross-dressing J Edgar Hoover is offered as the reason for the FBI's harassment of Hemingway. Other research suggests the feud between these two was far more complicated. The scenes of Cuba alone are worth seeing the movie.
