Santiago, capital of Chile during the Marxist government of elected, highly controversial president Salvador Allende. Father McEnroe supports his leftist views by introducing a program at the prestigious "collegio" (Catholic prep school) St. Patrick to allow free admission of some proletarian kids. One of them is Pedro Machuca, slum-raised son of the cleaning lady in Gonzalo Infante's liberal-bourgeois home. Yet the new classmates become buddies, paradoxically protesting together as Gonzalo gets adopted by Pedro's slum family and gang. But the adults spoil that too, not in the least when general Pinochet's coup ousts Allende, and supporters such as McEnroe.
Leave your thoughts about Machuca.
| San Francisco ChronicleJonathan CurielIt's a sensitively wrought work that reveals a time in Chile when class differences were both ignored and emphasized, depending on your perspective. |
| The NationStuart KlawansIt's an insidiously unforced movie, never drawing attention to its own cleverness, always investing meaning and tension into its details. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerBill WhiteMachuca is a quiet film, moving sadly toward its inevitable climax, the final scenes a lesson in the methods by which the military restores order to a divided country. |
| VarietyDavid RooneyRichly human in focus, the drama steadily cranks up its political and emotional charge. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayThat rare film that merges the personal and political without sacrificing restraint or intellectual honesty. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatMachuca is a powerful coming-of-age story set in Chile that also succeeds as a riveting parable about the virulence of class warfare. |
| Seattle TimesTed FryThanks to a pristine eye for period detail and strong acting skills by the entire cast, there's no need for the script to press any points. |
| Film Journal InternationalMatthew SmithA visually stirring film that asks many questions about Chile's 1973 coup, without providing any easy answers. |
| Reel.comTimothy KnightA remarkable and compelling film you won't soon forget. |
| New York TimesA.O. ScottBoth sweet and stringent, attuned to the wonders of childhood as well as its cruelty and terror. |
