Clarín Ñ

“…the film is meticulous and deeply human, and their images manage to be urgent due to determination to bring to light and examine an Argentine historical episode from different angles…”
Independent Film International Festival, April 2003

“The runaway from the Patagonian prison and the next mass execution that took place in 1972 have been reconstructed as if they had occurred these days and it was about a fiction film”.
Independent Film International Festival, April 2003

“... Mariana Arruti appeals to firsthand witnesses from that August in 1972, and chooses their testimonies in a clever way ... these two elements are essential to make Trelew one of the best films … Even when the story itself is exciting, having talent is a must in order to capture that power and transfer it onto the screen.”
