As Augusto Pinochet holds Chile in the grip of dictatorship, a 50-year-old man obsessed with John Travolta's character from Saturday Night Fever imitates his idol each weekend in a small bar on the outskirts of Santiago. Each weekend, Raúl Peralta and his friends -- a devoted group of dancers -- gather in a small bar and act out their favorite scenes from Saturday Night Fever. Raúl longs to become a showbiz superstar, and when the national television announces a Tony Manero impersonating contest it seems like he may finally have a shot at living his dreams. But as Raúl is driven to commit a series of crimes and thefts in order to reproduce his matinee idol's persona, his dancing partners (also underground resistance fighters who rail against the regime) are persecuted by the secret police. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Some New Trailer For Tony Manero
New Review For Movie Tony Manero
Larrain's (literally) dark, edgy movie is a precise artistic commentary on Augusto Pinochet's miserable regime, which was under way while Travolta gyrated.Lisa Schwarzbaum-Entertainment Weekly
Larrain evokes the bleakness and oppressiveness of life in a police state with much subtlety even as he poses a much larger question about cultural imperialism.
Kevin Thomas-Los Angeles Times
Shot with a hand-held camera and presented in a fragmented scenario, Tony Manero is the director's compelling attempt to find parallels between the Pinochet reign of terror and Raúl's scruple-less antics.
V.A. Musetto-New York Post
A memorably claustrophobic evocation of its time and place, as well as a reminder that the so-called escape offered by pop culture can sometimes be an escape into soul-sucking madness.
Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com
More than an indelible portrait of a sociopath with the soul of a zombie, Tony Manero is an extremely dark meditation on borrowed cultural identity.
Stephen Holden-New York Times
[Director] Larrain deftly employs a Dardennes-style in-the-moment handheld lensing, managing a high-wire act in which audience disgust is outpaced by breathless anticipation.
Kevin Lee-Time Out New York
(Alfredo) Castro plays the part with a dead-eyed blankness, a hollow, terrifying character who is as repellent as he is fascinating.
Sean Axmaker-Seanax.com
Alfredo Castro is magnetically repellant in the lead, a soulful creep with desperation and a very specific form of madness seeping out of his pores.
Shawn Levy-Oregonian
Larrain's consciously raw execution in telling the story of a compelling but ultimately unsavory character is an id-bending exercise in provocation that's both competent and challenging.
Wade Major-Boxoffice Magazine
Could this be ... art?
Kurt Loder-MTV
Perhaps best appreciated as a deadpan dark comedy about how ignorance, delusion, and selfishness can conspire to keep a people under the bootheels of a dictatorship.
Bryant Frazer-Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus
Films are, in a way, just collective fantasies... and, in some cases, nightmares
Chris Cabin-Filmcritic.com
A distortion of the historical record that is irresponsible and reprehensible. And a display of deplorable disregard by the director as irreverent whim for irreverence's sake, for the many who suffered and perished from Pinochet's crimes against humanity.
Prairie Miller-NewsBlaze
Cinephilia -- the smart-about-movies concept about the love of film -- has been so distorted in contemporary movie culture that it has led to the repugnant Chilean film Tony Manero.
Armond White-New York Press
Remarkable Chilean actor Alfredo Castro portrays a sleaze-bag standing in for people desperate psychologically to escape from dictator General Pinochet's brutality.
Harvey S. Karten-Compuserve
Larrain's film is primarily a character study of Raul, an unpleasant but unforgettable man who is part "King of Comedy" Robert DeNiro, part "Cape Fear" DeNiro.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Deeply unedifying, but it has some moves.
Anthony Quinn-Independent
Director Pablo Larrain, aided by a quietly compelling performance from co-screenwriter Alfredo Castro as Raul, is clearly commenting not only on a kind of celebrity fetishism.
-This is London
This allegory of national failure is down and dirty in every sense.
Anton Bitel-Little White Lies
