This is a smart, well-crafted historical drama that turns a referendum into genuinely compelling cinema—if you're into that sort of thing. The story of how an ad campaign helped topple a dictator is legitimately fascinating and educational, especially for teens learning about civic engagement and political resistance.

But let's be real: this is a 2012 Chilean political drama shot in deliberately grainy 1980s video format. It's slow, dialogue-heavy, and requires actual interest in history and politics to stay engaged. The 93% critic score reflects its quality and importance, but the 80% audience score tells you it's not for everyone.

For families with older teens (17+) who are studying Latin American history, interested in political science, or just curious about how democracies actually work, this is genuinely enriching viewing. For everyone else? Probably a pass unless you're really committed to expanding your historical film repertoire.
