Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Lee Eisenberg I would call Ibolya Fekete's "Chico" a comparison and contrast of intervention in the US and USSR spheres of influence. The protagonist comes from a Chilean intellectual family that idolizes all things socialist, but the family's flight to Hungary following the 1973 coup in Chile lets them see the Soviet domination of Eastern Europe. The peoples of Eastern Europe soon throw off the chains of Soviet domination and look to the US as a beacon of freedom, but the protagonist still remembers the US intervention in his native country. The moral gray area becomes apparent with the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s.The movie doesn't moralize, instead simply letting the viewer form his/her own opinion about the sequence of events. It's hard to truly take sides when one sees the raids on people's homes in Chile, and later the bullet-riddled buildings in the former Yugoslavia. I recommend the movie.

Peter Hunya I don't want to tell much about the movie I write about the main character Ricardo (Edurardo Rozsa Flores).He played Chico alias Ricardo. This movie is about him and his real life. Eduardo played himself. But in the movie his name is Ricardo. Director Fekete and Edurardo said that the movie based on pure fictions. Thats not true. This is Eduardo's life more like a biography than anything else.Unique: Because the main role played but not an actor but the real person who's story has been made up for a film. Its like if you would see Che Guevara is playing himself instead of Benicio Del Toro in the Sodenbergh's Che movie.Eduardo Rozsa Flores was a journalist first. Secondly he was a soldier. Thirdly he was a revolutionary when he joined to the Croats in 1991. And for last he is an actor. A one time one.Eduardo Rozsa Flores and the Chico movie is a unique strong confusing road-movie type documentary with biographical elements. History. The movie is the history and shows us as it happened not forcing you to decide who was right or wrong as others wrote me before. It is a worth to see and I would say if you ever lived in a communist country or you are interested in the history of the communist countries then it is a must see movie. However it will be not easy to understand what is going on without a basic knowledge in the theme.Note: Eduardo Rozsa Flores (Ricardo aka Chico in the movie) was brutally killed in a military police raid in Santa Cruz, Bolivia in 2009. 8 years later as he finished this movie. Died like he lived by the bullet. A real revolutionary hero of our post modern times. Maybe the last one...

vkelman The main reason I like Chico by Hungarian director Ibolya Fekete is that it never tries to force you to make a moral decision, to view world in black and white only. It's almost opposite to The Hurt Locker (which I honestly dislike) on that matter. Ibolya Fekete narrate her story, allowing movie watcher to determine who is write and who is wrong. And this is not an easy decision... it's not like a primitive story about straight and heroic American soldiers (Hurt Locker).Also, people in 'Chico' knows what they are fighting for. They may be wrong and they are cruel, but the are not like Americans brought to Iraq by obscure political reasons of W.W...The more you see 'Chico' the more you start to empathize to its main hero... and you're becoming devastated together with him.I suspect, though, that it would be harder to understand this movie for people who were not born in USSR or other communist country, who didn't hear their propaganda for years.

Gordon-11 This is a semi fictional memoir of an "international man" who have witnessed various political upheavals in recent 30 years.I was hoping that this film would offer unique insight into politics and war. I was also hoping that it would be touching and affecting. However, I was disappointed by this film. "Chico" seemed fragmentary, with the main character, Ricardo, staying in one country for 10 to 20 minutes. As could be expected, no detailed storyline could be elaborated in such time frame. The excuses of him moving to another place were often perfunctorily explained. The result was a disappointing collection of fragmented clips shot in various countries.
