RTChicago Sun-TimesOct 23, 2004

The Official Story is part polemic, part thriller, part tragedy. It belongs on the list with films like Z, Missing and El Norte, which examine the human aspects of political unrest.

W

Walter Goodman

RTNew York TimesAug 30, 2004

From the legacy of anguish left by Argentina's military juntas, Luis Puenzo has created a glowing film.

Sometimes the most enduring political statements are made without guns and banners.

Outstanding performances all around. A powerful film highlighting the ramifications of an Argentinian dictatorship. A must-watch film.
