Sue 10/16/2022 Very interesting true story, fine actors See more Leaburn O @RT35452347 Apr 21 A solid, if not spectacular retelling of the Argentine trials in 1985 against the military rulers who disappeared and tortured the Argentine public watched on Amazon Prime. See more Peter V @RT78913669 Jan 25 The court scenes dominate the second half of the film, while the first half focuses on events outside the courtroom. Although the film has a subtle burn, there is significant gravitas throughout. Ricardo Darin's portrayal of the chief prosecutor is compelling, making his character a definitive presence in the film. His closing statement in court adds depth to his role, revealing his character’s ‘true self’. The score is memorable, and despite a potentially jarring narrative structure at one point, Argentina, 1985 delivers an outstanding cinematic experience from 2022. The film concludes with a judicious verdict, followed by historical facts about the fate of the members of the military government that ruled by dictatorship during the 1970s. While the film does not delve into rehabilitation and reconciliation, it ends on a powerful note, showcasing the triumph of justice over evil. See more A B. @Wilbur130 Jan 12 Fantastic. The dubbed version may lack a bit, but well worth watching, and especially today.
