Film Review Guidelines for Our Disappeared 

Written, directed, and narrated by Juan Mandelbaum

Films, whether fiction or non-fiction, help create imagery in our minds and bring to life the subject matter. Within that imagery, the filmmaker’s perspectives on society, culture, politics, morality, ethics, religion and more are presented. As the viewer, we watch not only for entertainment and content, but also for context. This film review will help you understand the point of view of Juan Mandelbaum, an exiled Argentinean, who revisits his past and searches for answers by exploring a horrific time period he and his friends lived through under the military regime in Argentina.

The following are points to ponder and questions to help guide you in the writing of a documentary film review. You are not required to answer all these questions, they are to trigger your thoughts and notetaking throughout your viewing of the film and help shape your approach. Where possible, I’ve included the minute markers as a reference. Be mindful that your review is not a synopsis of the film, but an analysis of it. In other words, do not summarize the film, analyze it.
