The rhetoric is less compelling and the characters are less interesting.

Never manages to articulate a more nuanced idea than the fact that politicians are people, too.

Although Ricardo Darn supplies the necessary world-weary gravitas as Argentina's untested leader, director Santiago Mitre fails to bring this ambitious endeavour to life.

There are two plots in this film: Political intrigue among Latin American countries, and the daughter of a president acting crazy. The former is far better than the later, but the movie focuses on the wrong one.

3/5

Mitre's political thriller is at times gripping as it unfolds, though also at times confusing, but very well worth a watch.

Deserves to be seen on a large screen, with attention focused on its powerful supporting cast. [Full review in Spanish]

It creates a intriguing atmosphere and captivating enigmas, but leaves not answers to the viewers.

Esta película empieza lenta y le cuesta arrancar, pero se nota la belleza y la sobriedad con la que está rodada. A partir de la primera hora, las dos principales ramas argumentales empiezan su excelente desarrollo, aunque muchos de los pequeños hilos que han ido proponiendo se van desvaneciendo hasta llegar a un final precipitado que deja muchas dudas en el espectador. Debo suponer que esa era la intención, mi nota es un 7. Versión completa en: Vaderexpress.blogspot.com

3.3/5 The film presents a ton of interesting conflicts and plenty of political commentary, but at the end, and specially with THE end, really doesnt develop anything and feels quite shockingly, incomplete.

El perfecto ejemplo de cómo abrir muchos cabos y no saber cómo cerrarlos. El guión viene bien hasta el final, totalmente decepcionante.
