Sometimes a human simply withstands what it's subjected to, and that's enough to rivet us. Go to Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia May 19
6/10
A prison drama that manages to capture the isolation and brutality of jail life, but, unfortunately, it's narrative seems conventional and repetitive when it frequents common places to hang its Manichean political commentary.

9/10
Through brief anecdotes experienced by the detainees, the film conveys their harsh inner emotions, using resources such as surrealism and expressionism, along with impeccable sound design, to illustrate the torment they faced.

HMF B Feb 20 This movie about the history of the Tupamaros in Uruguay is very powerful in spite of its rather dark and static setting (prison cells). It taught me a lot and the ending is very filled with hope. Stunning acting by all actors. A stunning movie. See more 08/17/2021 Es una excelente película uruguaya; la trama es muy buena y las actuaciones son sublimes; es un suceso muy trágico. ¡TOTALMENTE RECOMENDABLE! See more 07/22/2021 As it builds, you really feel the connection between the characters, and the experiences they are going through. It does take a while to build, and it's not made totally clear what the imprisoning power gains from keeping them hostage for as long as they did See more Victoria Z 02/18/2021 harsh, painful, heartbreaking, moving, soulful, strong, flawless storytelling. a Must see 100% See more 02/04/2021 A self-glorification from terrorists See more 07/30/2020 What a great movie! For these three men to overcome what they endured is simply amazing! See more Read all reviews
