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 Wade Major FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) 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. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 20, 2019 Full Review Robert Roten Laramie Movie Scope This is a well-acted film and the director, Álvaro Brechner ('Bad Day to Go Fishing') does a fine job of showing us how it feels to be imprisoned.

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
