The problem with the film is its lack of details.

It's a glib trivialisation of one of the grimmer chapters of Chilean history.

3/5

Grimly fascinating, and blessed with good star-power, the screenplay is nonetheless rather too contrived and bland in places.

The movie offers an up-close look at the torture chambers and human filth like Schäfer, who began with the Nazis and ended up a creature of the CIA.

It's clear that Gallenberger is well-intentioned but his film trivialises what was a terrible reality.

I really dug this movie. I would do anything thing for love except work my way into a South American Cult. Crazy it was based on a true story.

It makes it's point, but feels far too pleasant at times when it should feel dreadful

The story is based on reality. If you want to know more you'll have to do more research, but if you want to feel more, then I would recommend watching this movie. Great job on acting.

A perfect example on how religions are used to domesticate and enslave humans.

gripping and tense drama based on true events and places. it doesn't give you a good sense of what this colony represented in terms of the political events of chile at the time, but if you go into it expecting a smaller personal story then you'll find a lot to latch onto. great emma watson performance.
