The only criticism I have about this movie, if it can be called a criticism is that it takes a keen mind to get into it. After learning who's who and what's what it is veryy easy to watch. I found it a total joy. The story the acting, the entire production. I have only seen "Cradle" in September 2008, during a very important presidential election campaign which made it all the more powerful. The issues of the time are never trivial. While there are a lot of powerful statements in the film, I personally found the fact that the union actors performing a film about union solidarity defied the union to celebrate their art. That is not to ignore the Diego Rivera debacle, which I personally
Fantastic!!! A great compilation of the euphoria of the late 1930`s.
Brilliant and inspiring film with a stellar cast and expert direction.
