For me, an Argentinean who was born decades after the most terrifying dictatorship in the country, I loved this movie and it gave me knowladge that schools never shared with me.
What I mean: I was born and grew up with the idea in mind that the 76's dictatorship left thousands of disappeared, kidnapped, tortured and murdered -innocents-. I had no idea this is popular (and universal) knowledge thanks to the Julio Strassera and that if it weren't for him and his team, half of our republic would be ignorant of the atrocities that occurred by the dictators.
On the other hand, and talking about the film itself, the acting was great, the plot was very enjoyable (catching, informative, funny) and above all - the 80s setting was amazing. I didn't live through that decade but my family did and I'm a fan of it; music, buses, telephones, fashion, the excerpts of TV...
And talking about this last one, I particulary highlight the excerpts from REAL moments of the trial that were added in the film (also showing the similarity of the actors with the real people). That was very significant.
To sum up, I bealive every Argentine should watch the movie. Actually, everybody should, because it tells the real things the victims, the citizens and the politic went through because of this dictatorship. It touches those who lived it and it informs those who didn't. It is a senstive and meaningful movie.
