I expected something like “The Post” and got nothing like it. For a film with such a serious subject I was amazed to see how much humor they decided to put into it, and it works. Just watched it in the Première in Rio and it was amazing. Unlike in Argentina, in Brazil the victims of the military dictatorship never got justice, quite the opposite, the military got out scot free, with streets named after them. Gotta applaud the Argentinian people. The most badass on the planet.

[Prime Video] Santiago Mitre brings humor to the chronicle of the trial against the militaries of the Argentine dictatorship, but this doesn't make the film superficial. And although it reflects historical facts, it ends up being an intelligent reflection on how a gray prosecutor becomes a national hero, and how justice becomes an instrument of balance in a country in which turning the page was synonymous with impunity against heinous crimes.

"Argentina, 1985" is a fascinating political thriller that recounts the 1985 trial of the senior commanders of Argentina's military dictatorship. From such contemporary historical films, I usually expect to learn something about a subject that I was previously unaware of from such contemporary historical films. In this regard, "Argentina, 1985" is thoroughly satisfying. All of the actors are convincing, and the events are comprehenseble. It's also the kind of film where you could click through Wikipedia entries for hours afterward. I would give the film a slight minus for its somewhat formulaic nature. However, it differs from other genre representatives in one point in a positive sense: it is not always too serious.From time to time, humorous moments lighten the mood. As a result, there is never any danger of boredom. This courtroom drama doesn't drag the viewer into an emotional abyss. A positive side effect is that the emotional moments work even more effectively. In the end, I can't give anything but a clear recommendation for this film.

Ricardo Darín is on very good form here as the wily and determined Argentinian state prosecutor Julio Strassera who is charged with leading the investigation into the activities of many of the most senior members of the military junta that lead post-Perón Argentina. Murder, rape, torture are just More

This movie rates a 10/10 AND a 10/10 - a 20, right? The first rating is for the superior direction, the phenomenal acting jobs by every member of the cast, and a DP that served the narrative in every shot. The second rating is for a STORY that is vital to tell and re-tell. All it takes is a lapse in More
