Movie Reviews of Machuca

Movie Review: An illuminating, painful glimpse into chaotic, violent Chile of 1973
Summary: 5 Stars

Prepare yourself to be stunned and moved by this award-winning 2004 film.

"Only children and drunks don't lie," exclaims a young firebrand teenage girl articulating the controversial film's central theme.

The lives of three children, attracted despite class and educational backgrounds, come together and fall apart in this dark coming of age during a time of violent social conflict film. Children discover the lies, obsessions, hopes, and fears of adults in in Chile in 1973 - before and after the coup. They discover that friendship and good intentions are far too weak in the face of prejudice, tradition, hunger, and violence.

See the film, travel back to a time of political fanaticism, and watch the pleasures of youth become painful, mature understandings. Although more poignant than Missing, the film also seems less overtly political in its story. Yet this sometimes sweet film packs a very hard punch.
