    A slice of history

    An interesting play on the background to a conflict. Quite interesting also is the part that the US played it that I was unaware of. Specially the bit were you have a US representative going to a meal with the Argentine Ambassador while not taking sides!!!

    A slice of history, served up without any spin. Would have been nice for full balance if we had something from the Argentine point of view.

    Well worth the time to watch

    Excellent

    Whilst you need to be in the right frame of mind for this film (it's hardly a laugh-a-minute), it is nonetheless a brilliant re-enactment of the events of this early eighties' conflict. Patricia Hodge is excellent as Maggie and the rest of the cast add real conviction to proceedings. Worth watching.
