A docudrama at best
14 January 2023
Argentina 1985 would best serve as a documentary not a film. While the script moves along and the events based on a true story unfold you realise that the film has a feel of a television miniseries. Oddly the director decided to shoot the film in 4:3 ratio to give it 'authenticity' but it feels anything but authentic in terms of the period from where the docu drama is inspired. The script is great but was the director fresh out of film school?! While the story is remarkable the film itself is instantly forgettable. Cannot recommend unlike these self proclaimed 'critics' on this website do otherwise!
