Argentina 1985

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.

Ricardo Darín is an incredible actor. I was also pleasantly surprised by Peter Lanzani. The cinematography and art direction are fantastic.

[spoiler] I want to highlight the scenes of the witnesses giving testimony against the dictators. Very emotional. And also the final speech. "Nunca Mas" [/spoiler]

A very emotional film with great direction and very good performances. It will surely become an Argentine classic.

[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.

Interesting film about an important piece of Argentina's recent history. It shows clearly how political pressures work during democratic transitions, and how slowly dictatorships really end. Amazing interpretation of Ricardo Darin.

I enjoyed it, but something went missing about the trial, I think it could have been better scripted. Nice performances.

As always: it is difficult to say how accurate this depiction of the trial actually is, but it was quite good. There were some funny moments, there were many grave moments. Lots of drama. I really enjoy foreign language movies.

What you would expect from this kind of movie. Technically well done, with pretty good performances.

Good performances, technically and visually brilliant but could have been more tense. A lackluster screenplay does disservice to a well crafted script and the serious nature of the story. It didn't arouse many emotions and the movie felt flat during the later half. Ricardo Darin tried his best to elevate the film with his brilliant performance but it wasn't enough. Fairly average.
