Dennis Harvey Variety An impressive work that further confirms writer-director Alvaro Brechner as one of the leading South American screen talents to emerge in the last decade. Feb 12, 2019 Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times Sometimes a human simply withstands what it's subjected to, and that's enough to rivet us. Dec 27, 2018 Full Review Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine 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. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 9/10 May 14, 2025 Full Review Wade Major FilmWeek (LAist) A second-tier "Papillon"... It just doesn't add anything. Sep 13, 2019 Full Review Dustin Chase Texas Art & Film An endurance test of a film but with a powerful conclusion. Rated: C+ Apr 30, 2019 Full Review Filipe Freitas Always Good Movies Regardless of some familiar routines, the hostile atmosphere is depicted with rigor.

HMF B 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review Audience Member Es una excelente película uruguaya; la trama es muy buena y las actuaciones son sublimes; es un suceso muy trágico. ¡TOTALMENTE RECOMENDABLE! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Victoria Z harsh, painful, heartbreaking, moving, soulful, strong, flawless storytelling. a Must see 100% Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/21 Full Review Audience Member A self-glorification from terrorists Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member What a great movie! For these three men to overcome what they endured is simply amazing! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
