I believe that this is one of the best Chilean films ever made. The director chose excellent actors, and his idea for his movie was very creative. I don't normally feel emotional after watching movies, but at the end, when the director played the song "Mira Niñita" from Los Jaivas, I almost cried.
The movie gave a very well balanced view of each side of social class. Giving one a better understanding of why things happened how they happened.
I have to say, most movies with kids actor are major garbage in my opinion, but Machuca was a great film, with a great plot.
