Featured reviews
Very mediocre film that lacks script. Mediocre directing and editing. The only remarkable thing is Javier Camara's and Patricia Tamayo's acting.
This film represents a reality in Latin American countries, where small elite groups manage politics and make decisions that affect many for their own benefits and economic interests, countries where a football game is promoted more than the importance of a good education, countries where few have all and most of the population nothing. Latin America has suffered since its conquest (NO DISCOVERY) in the 16th century and still continues to suffer new wounds while trying to heal the old ones. I have seen it and continue to see it in Honduras. Thank you for making this type of film, as well as "La Llorona" by Jayro Bustamante, cuz they allow these stories not to be lost as the intellectual authors of these crimes would like, they also help us to cure Latin America but do not forget. The technical aspect that I appreciated the most about the film was the black and white photography, really beautiful.
This movie presents a past yet intimate take on an ever disappointing landscape of politics and violence within Colombia.
The story surprised me with the variety of topics that I've never thought they have any relationship between, even some historical facts that were presented had an "oh that's why..." moment, mixed with some very intimate takes on the Abad-Faciolince family.
A few scenes didn't resonate that much because of the acting, especially in the first half of the movie, but overall, the sensation left behind was joy and hopefulness.
A good movie, with very good source material.

It is a shocking film that portrays the reality that is lived in Colombia; the plot is decent and the acting is good; it is recommended.
The story of Hector Abad Gomez is moving and a perfect example of what has meant to be a thoughtful and honest leader in a country like Colombia, but the movie is not the most interesting portray of that struggle, and tries to be faithful to the book forgetting that cinema is already a new language and therefore a new opportunity to tell a story.
