Viva

...Anna Biller’s vivid sexploitation pastiche homages the pussycats-and-polyester tack of Russ Meyer-era titillation with sweetly cranky accuracy.

...offering a painstaking recreation of the look and feel of campy retro sexploitation.

...at this film’s heart lies a real sense of tenderness.

...the views of [Havana] and some corners ofits culture are among the best reasons to check out “Viva.”

This young actor is good, very good in fact. Watching him become beautifully alive in Viva is this little gem’s greatest pleasure.
