El olvido que seremos

This movie presents a past yet intimate take on an ever disappointing landscape of politics and violence within Colombia.

The story surprised me with the variety of topics that I've never thought they have any relationship between, even some historical facts that were presented had an "oh that's why..." moment, mixed with some very intimate takes on the Abad-Faciolince family.

A few scenes didn't resonate that much because of the acting, especially in the first half of the movie, but overall, the sensation left behind was joy and hopefulness.

A good movie, with very good source material.

Very mediocre film that lacks script. Mediocre directing and editing. The only remarkable thing is Javier Camara's and Patricia Tamayo's acting.

It's a good movie in general. But I think the movie gets short on terms of generating the feelings that the book transmits.

Cuando has leído el libro y conoces la historia, la película te conmueve aún más. Lloré de principio a fin con todo lo que Héctor Abad Gómez representaba para su familia y para la gente, y lloré recordando las injusticias de la vida y de la muerte.

When you have read the book and you know the story, the film touches you the double. I cried from the beginning to the end with everything Hector Abad represented for all his family and for the people.

The story of Hector Abad Gomez is moving and a perfect example of what has meant to be a thoughtful and honest leader in a country like Colombia, but the movie is not the most interesting portray of that struggle, and tries to be faithful to the book forgetting that cinema is already a new language and therefore a new opportunity to tell a story.
