A sensitively wrought work.
An astonishingly intimate and painful coming-of-age story.

Tender, funny and smart, Machuca is that rare discovery, an incisive political parable that also succeeds as a drama of sharply drawn individuals.
Sweet, poignant, and winningly evocative of the period, though occasionally dogged by predictable scenarios and caricatures.
Both sweet and stringent, attuned to the wonders of childhood as well as its cruelty and terror.
Machuca 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.
