This heavy-handed drama relies in its superb acting to succeed.

A couple of music cues aside, this is very well put together, letting the emotions rise out of the material and the very powerful performances. It does the little things right, the conversations, the little allusions, and the depiction of internal and social conflicts in a way that highlights issues while placing them in a broader context. The only thing that bothers me is the most fundamental decision, the perspective of guilty privilege that pushes the very real victims to a secondary role .

thought provoking film about the complicity of some in Argentina's recent history.

Not the greatest movie, but I did learn something and it was interesting subject matter.
