Nicolas Rapold New York Times Crafted entirely out of the televised 1985 trial of Argentina’s military junta, “The Trial” lays bare horrific crimes while showing the courage of victims, survivors and their families. Sep 21, 2023 Full Review Leo Goldsmith Artforum Somber as these proceedings are, what’s most distinctive about the film’s distillation of the trial is its perhaps inevitable element of theater. Jan 26, 2024 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com The Trial is much more demanding and arduous than Argentina, 1985, but for those who were moved by that work of fiction, De la Orden's work emerges as a most welcome expansion on the abjection and horror of those years of blood. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Dec 19, 2023 Full Review Carlos Losilla Caimán Cuadernos de Cine The way this 'super-documentary' proceeds seems irreproachable, since its director, Ulises de la Orden, avoids any voice-over to stick to the filmed images and offer them as the only protagonists.
