The device of following political and cultural events through the eyes of a boy is a little crudely deployed, and everything tends to be rather on the predictable and formulaic side, but there are still some good moments here, just too few of them.

I'm sorry, but Commie propaganda films have to be a lot better than this for me to like them

That's Chile in 1973, and that's Chile today.

"Like John Boorman's Hope and Glory, Machuca conflates a boy's coming-of-age with a country's social upheavals." - Ed Gonzalez

I'm not familiar at all with Chile's political history but I'm a sucker for coming of age films. It's predictable but still great to watch.

One of the more honest films I've seen on the subject of social class, shown through the dismal conclusion of the Allende years and beginning of the Pinochet dictatorship. Would have rated higher if it didn't try to titillate men with incest scenes and sacrifice a girl simply to produce an emotional effect on the male characters.

Machuca estreava há 20 anos na Suíça. Acho um filme muito potente, reverbera com maestria aquele período terrível (que vontade de dar na cara daquelas dondocas batendo panela), deixo passar até uns vícios de linguagem pra impressionar gringo porque o sentido é maior que o formalismo nesse caso. YTS.
