This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

We literally had to turn the movie off halfway through. Having lived there with the people that didn't run within the Prime Minister's circles, any lower-class citizen can tell you that this movie is so blindingly obvious in its Socialist slant that it's almost caricature. It's almost like they are mocking the common citizens of Granada. Propaganda, such as this refuse pile of a documentary, needs to be stopped before we end up with another civil war on our hands.
