• ‘Excellent’: 18 votes
  • Totally engaging.  The extended first act of domestic bliss served to accentuate the horror of the subsequent film, which descended on the family with very little warning.
  • Brilliant film.  Wonderful acting & a chilling reminder of what can happen when democracy is taken/or is given away
  • A powerful film, shows what happens when fascists take control.
  • A very assured and surprisingly gentle expose of the acts of dictatorship and the impact on the families of the victims.
  • A cracking(?) drama on an “arresting” issue. Clever change of mood from initial joy to terror, mostly focussed on female experience: sadly, the perpetrators were male.  Not quite so comfortable with the final sections but held together by the stunning central performance. “I’m Still Here” – sadly only too but now garbed in a fresh new ICE uniform!
  • Unbearably sad. Very moving.
  • Very moving, not sentimental. A huge sense of the fate of a family in a dictatorship.  Political? Everything is Political.
  • Outstanding.
  • A deeply affecting film; the fortitude and unwavering dignity of Eunice was extraordinary.
  • Powerful film.  Disturbing.  Excellent acting.
  • When will they ever learn?
  • Superb! Cinema first, then ‘politics’ Wim Wenders was right, it seems.
  • Very powerful performance by Fernanda Torres – great choice of movie
  • Thank you.  Rather close to the bone if you’ve lived under a dictatorship.
  • A warning from history, but those who should be listening, were not.
  • Outstanding. Thank you.

  • Took an age to say what it had to say.  The ending felt incredibly drawn out after the time jump.  Way too self-indulgent as it went on.
  • Bit long.
• ‘Poor’: 0 votes
