[HAVANA CURVEBALL screens Thursday March 19th at 4:40 pm and Friday March 20th at 11:35 am at Tower City Cinemas as part of the 39th Cleveland International Film Festival.]
Review by Charles Cassady, Jr.
Imagine: a husband-and-wife team of filmmakers showcase their own school-age son as subject of a feature. Yeah, ultimate stage parents. Yeah, the kid stays in the picture, all right. Sounds like a real recipe for disaster, or have we all forgotten AFTER EARTH?
Still - coming along with exquisitely good timing courtesy the Obama Administration's moves to normalize relations with Cuba - movie couple Marcia Jarmel and Ken Schneider have done a lot more than make a glorified home movie with their modestly impressive short docu-feature HAVANA CURVEBALL.
