1975. An American filmmaker arrives in Argentina to film the story of the first revolt of laborers against landowners. Hoping to document history, instead, he finds himself becoming part of it as he's swept into the revolt and soon finds himself on the run from the dark bloodiness that is sweeping the country.

La Nación (Argentina)

Never does the Matadero universe become a real manifestation of what's intended, and its characters peek out like declamatory marionettes spouting out slogans and other people's reflections. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 2/5

EscribiendoCine

The narrative is nourished by a kind of metafiction that helps Fillol transfer the past contradictions of a country in a political parable into the present. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 7/10

Jonathan Holland

Screen International

Though infused with a calculating, cerebral air which sometimes prevents it from driving home its dramatic punches, enough gothic intrigue remains for Matadero to work well as a slow-burning political thriller with shades of Costa-Gavras.
