A masterpiece. The essence is ultimately Conradian, in that a person in a moment of crisis finds out who they really are as opposed to who they think they are. You probably need to have a basic understanding of the region’s history but if you do it’s a dark masterpiece.

Watchable but rather lacking in exposition. For much of the movie l did not really know what was going on and wasn't much wiser by the end. The other negative is very intrusive incidental music used to try and heighten drama. Since l did not really know what was going on it was a bit odd. It's not his fault but the lead, Fabrizio Rongione, reminds me of Macron.

This was a very slow, creeping film about a mysterious banking relationship in a politically unstable South American country.

Azor is a good example for clever cinema making. It's visuals present to us a dark time of doubt. And with it's thrilling storyline Azor takes the viewer along on a thrilling trip of conspiracies and deadly games entangled with big money.

An insufferably boring film that moves with a leaden pace and never resolves the central mystery of what happened to the missing man. Cheaply made and dreadfully paced. Really, don't bother.

Started off good... looked like it was going to build up to a great suspense... kept promising to build up... and then nothing. What a let down. Acting was good... but story really lacked an exciting end.

It's not like watching a movie that was set in the 80s but it's like watching a movie that was made in the 80s, Yikes!!

Subtle acting, pointed dialogue and a camera that sidles up to secretive power mongers almost as if it's trying, like the viewer, to figure out what's really going on and being said. Too many overrated movies around this year (arguably) but perhaps this one deserves all the praise.

Brilliant. Among other things, this is one of the best depictions of human evil that I've ever seen on screen. And yet, not a single shot is fired. The film is set in Argentina in 1980. A right-wing military junta (backed, unfortunately, by the US) is in the process of kidnapping, torturing, and murdering thousands of civilians. But you wouldn't know it from this movie - except from anxious, oblique references - because the social class the film depicts is (almost) completely insulated from the violence that's done to protect their interests. Still, there's tension and dread beneath the surface, from start to finish.

It's one of those typical movies that movie critics salivate over. The tension that all the reviews allude to comes from pointless dialogues and long silences and those long shots that's supposed to represent the character's loneliness and internal turmoil. For most part the dialogues are stiff and theatrical, it just feels like a play for most of the time, and a really pretensions and boring one. The main character looks like he has a constipation for the entire movie. This should have been a 온라인카지노추천 movie at best. The pretentious references to The Heart of Darkness like traveling down the river to meet the baddie is just that - pretentious references. The only quality comes in the last 5 minutes but it doesn't justify the dreadful 85 minutes that supersede that. It tries to be like Friedkin's Sorcerer (especially using that transistor music which in this movie really feels fake and forced) or Antonioni's The Passenger. It's neither and doesn't come even close. If you want to watch a good movie about that disappearances in Argentina at the time of the military junta watch Costa-Gavras' Missing with Jack Lemon. This is just a poor, student's tribute to 70's political drama. I'm giving it 3 stars because there are movies worse than this. I thought about giving it 1 just to correct the rating because this film is absolutely nowhere 10, 9 or even 8. Critics giving it 100/100 is just a joke...

Good lord, this was painful to sit through. I don't know what the critics were looking at. The music/sound was jarring to the extent that sometimes I thought I was hearing noise from adjoining theaters bleeding into mine. The primary actors, I guess, were representing the emotional pulse of bankers, wives of bankers, friends of bankers, etc., but my God, that didn't warrant making me sit through two hours watching them. I began to fidget throughout, as I kept waiting for something of interest to happen. Others will call it, "... a quiet, unhurried, un-flashy film..." or "a real white knuckler." I would call it just plain boring!!!
