100A sensitively wrought work.
-
80Wood's film works, first and foremost, as a powerful character drama; it's not trying to teach historical or ideological lessons.

60Machuca is still a half-measure. Wood is fastidious about period set design, but not much else; rather than burning with experience, the film feels opportunistic.
