( Showing 1-15 of 15 Tomatometer Reviews, sorted a-z )   "Can't seem to get anywhere near the story's center." -- Jeffrey M. Anderson, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER   "Like all great documentaries, The Pinochet Case illustrates a universal pattern, in this case a frightening fact of human survival that leads repeatedly to unspeakable tyranny." -- Maria Garcia, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL   "Aside from stumbling over some clunky visual metaphors Guzmán does a decent job of telling a story many outside Chile simply don't know." -- Jon Popick, PLANET SICK-BOY   "The powerless wait a long time for justice, and sometimes their only justice is to finally tell their story." -- Joshua Tanzer, OFFOFFOFF Soundtrack Books All Related Items   "Guzman's powerful and sometimes triumphant documentary is not only an excellent overview of the affair, but serves as the perfect finale to the monumental trilogy about the coup and its aftermath." -- Ken Fox, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE   "While Guzmán frustratingly refuses to give Pinochet's crimes a political context, his distance from the material is mostly admirable." -- Ed Gonzalez, SLANT MAGAZINE   "The Pinochet Case is a searing album of remembrance from those who, having survived, suffered most." -- Peter Rainer, NEW YORK MAGAZINE --  Click to read the article. -- Gregory Avery, NITRATE ONLINE Cream of the Crop FRESH 100%   "A coda in every sense, The Pinochet Case splits time between a minute-by-minute account of the British court's extradition chess game and the regime's talking-head survivors." -- Michael Atkinson, VILLAGE VOICE   "Illuminating." -- Jonathan Curiel, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE   "Even though we know the outcome, the seesawing of the general's fate in the arguments of competing lawyers has the stomach-knotting suspense of a legal thriller, while the testimony of witnesses lends the film a resonant undertone of tragedy." -- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES   "It will take a strong stomach for the ordinary viewer to maintain an appetite for Pinochet apologetics after this litany of suffering." -- Philip Kennicott, WASHINGTON POST   "A riveting documentary." -- V.A. Musetto, NEW YORK POST   "The determination of Pinochet's victims to seek justice, and their often heartbreaking testimony, spoken directly into director Patricio Guzman's camera, pack a powerful emotional wallop." -- Bruce Newman, SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS   "What a long, strange saga it is." -- Michael O'Sullivan, WASHINGTON POST   "It ultimately stands forth as an important chronicle of the abuses of one of Latin America's most oppressive regimes." -- Frank Scheck, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER --  Click to read the article. -- Jonathan Rosenbaum, CHICAGO READER
