Reviews for Four Days in September
This is powerful stuff but, like so many political abduction dramas, suffers from a certain static quality.
An intriguing, understated film that quietly brings up loud questions of honor, duty, ideals, and courage.
This low-key and highly intelligent Brazilian film set in 1969 deals with the complexities of political action.
