I am really torn when it comes to this movie. On the one hand, it keeps you on the edge of your seat every freaking minute until the very end. It is basically a chamber play, taking place almost entirely in the ABC studio. You get sucked into this little universe of the still-analog world of that time. The main characters deliver great performances, and the editing builds the tension perfectly up to the tragic climax. So, if you look at it purely as a thriller, it is fantastic.

But unfortunately, it severely downplays the negative impact that the media had. At one point, John Magaro's character asks whether the failed attempt to rescue the hostages might have been influenced by their coverage. YES, it was! This is historically proven. The terrorists saw the ABC footage and realized the police were coming. ABC endangered the hostages, who might have been rescued. You can't just gloss over that.

The movie makes the mistake of showing the journalists' dilemma without commenting on it. That would be fair-if it didn't portray them in a heroic light. The credits mention that 900 million people watched this. But the real question is: Should they have? This isn't a documentary, so it doesn't have to be 100% accurate, but it still has a responsibility.

Un amor is brilliantly acted by Laia Costa, who masterfully portrays the fear, sadness, loneliness, and helplessness of her character in the face of patriarchal structures. Every man in this movie essentially uses her to satisfy his own desires, forcing themselves into her life and leaving her no room to breathe. Even the one man she likes exploits her rather than offering genuine reciprocity.

This is a very difficult movie to watch, as we witness the protagonist endure relentless suffering. It feels like a downward spiral, and as I sat there, I desperately hoped she would catch a break. Make sure not to watch this film if you're already feeling low-it's as emotionally heavy as it gets. That's not a criticism, though, but rather a testament to the message it seeks to convey.

Trapped in a small village, Laia Costa's character struggles against a community deeply rooted in patriarchy, which pressures her to conform or face exclusion. Un amor is a heartbreaking yet courageous film, elevated by Laia Costa's outstanding performance.

No clue why this episode hast the worst rating average. Maybe planted by the music industry?? This is by far the best episode. It comes full circle with Daniel and Bobbi T's story. It is the most gripping episode, has the most dramatic tone when alle of the rest hit a lighter note. It also has more depth by tackling the topic of the extortion of artists.

Some people argue about it being fictional but this is entertainment not a documentary. The whole point of the show was that the story is very different depending on who you listen to. I am glad that I ingnored that score and watched the best episode of a great show.
