Salvador Allende Ratings & Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's a solid no-nonsense documentary.
Los Angeles CityBeat
Andy Klein
Guzmn's 2004 documentary is not only full of historical detail, but is also suffused with lyricism and melancholy, beautifully shot and edited.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
[Director] Guzman's film is filled with revelations that will disturb many, including U.S. involvement in the coup. If only Guzman had been more innovative in his presentation.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Less effective as a portrait of Allende than it is as a commentary on the documentary medium itself-art as a means of resuscitating history.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
One from the heart, Salvador Allende is a plaintive look back at the rise and violent fall of the world's first democratically elected Marxist president.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
A heartfelt documentary about the charismatic and idealist leader of Chile who sought to bring a fair and free world to his people.
Village Voice
Aaron Hillis
The controversial Chilean president is ultimately painted sympathetically, and quite convincingly so, in this artful 2004 doc from Patricio Guzmn.

Louis Proyect
Excellent portrait of a tragic figure, who tried to defend the interests of working people while stopping short of abolishing the system that is responsible for their suffering.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
Mixing extensive archival footage and contemporary interviews with survivors of the era, the film gets across, quite powerfully, Allende's long courtship of the Chilean people.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Bill White
What the world knows of Chile in the 1970s, it knows through the films of Patricio Guzman.
Chicago Reader
Fred Camper
Patricio Guzman's 2004 biography of the Chilean president is less a conventional documentary than a cinematic act of mourning.
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Mark R. Leeper
Chilean Guzman captures the populist appeal of Allende's campaign and the fervor many of the people felt for the candidate.

Boyd van Hoeij
A documentary that is refreshing in both form and content.
