The military dictatorship of Argentina 1976-1983 is indeed, horrifying, and deserves to be condemned and not forgotten; the stated purpose of this movie. The problem with this film is that scene after scene of unending brutality, including the torture and murder of a child, is unbearable. The torture, rape and murder sequences are too graphic and too long. It is possible to make a film that publicizes and condemns the crimes of a military dictatorship without having the bulk of the film consist of torture scenes. Also, the plot itself leaves the viewer with more questions than answers. Two better films on the subject of the abuses of military dictatorships in South America are Kiss of the Spider Woman and Missing.
