A man can be destroyed but not defeated, although the desultory Papa: Hemingway in Cuba makes one feel as if both can be accomplished by watching a single film.

In the end, it's a museum piece: even the drunken screaming matches between Hemingway and his wife feel staged. April 29, 2016 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

As the first U.S. film shot in Cuba since Castro came to power in 1959, Papa gives us sights to revel in. Oddly, what hurts is the clunky, overripe script. April 29, 2016 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

"Papa" is merely cinema at its dullest, a perfunctory assemblage of biographical bullet points in which characters explain their lives rather than live them. April 29, 2016 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

Ms. Richardson comforts and coaxes and exasperatedly, bitingly demeans, but she and Mr. Sparks play past each other instead of engaging. April 28, 2016 | Full Review…

It's godawful, with trite dialogue, poor performances, and painfully bad editing. (You know that editing is bad when you notice it.) September 27, 2017 | Full Review…

The most impressive part of Papa is that it's the first American movie to be shot in Cuba since 1959. As far as the film itself, however, it might as well have been titled The Old Drunk and the Sea. January 2, 2017 | Full Review…
