Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
insufra The problem with this film is that you have a director ,producer from other countries and actors speaking castilian they don't get the feeling of the era of Trujillo's's dictatorship,and can't make it work, I Lived that ERA, the fear of Trujillo's SIM (Intelligence Service) was tremendous and one thing that distinguish that Era was that those that served the regime were very protective of any anti-Trujillo's's ideas and served as an extension of his government to protect their own lives and that of their families, fear of him and his goons (Johnny Abe), although at the time of this movie things were changing was enormous, you never get that feeling during this movie, to me this film is just one of thousands,that were lived in the country in his 30 years.
Bx_TrUestNYC first of all the real version is in English and the movie needs more then 4 stars it was a great film and had an all UK star cast and u.s all star cast and it cost 8 million euros to make it id give this one 6 stars of how great the acting and the movie was especially Stephanie Leonidas who's of Dominican Greek and British orgin she was the best actress of the film so it make the film a great one oh and about the person who comment on it before he/she is wrong because the American producer of warner home video who's gonna bring the movie to the u.s said is going to be one of the best movie of the year 2006 so whoever comment on that the film was bad hop off! from Albert Vasquez Dominican American 15 year old bye
Juan Carlos Henriquez As a Dominican, I can say the movie cannot be considered as the movie about the Trujillo government, but about the story of how some things were in those years, specially how difficult was for some women specially that were attracted by Trujillo, and how Urania's life changed after going to help his father reputation while going to the supposed "party" with Trujillo, that became into the Goat's party as the movie is named. I haven't read the book yet, but I like the movie and I recommend it movie. For people interested in knowing about Trujillo's era, also you can see "In the times of the butterflies", it is also more realistic about Trujillo's times.
yorkelvis I am a Dominican, and it's always good to see movies that are about facts from my country. I was waiting for this movie, everybody knows the book it's already a classic, Trujillo's era it's one of the bloodiest of all the dictators-ships that Latin America has suffer. Well, this movie is based on the book of the same name, but it's very difficult to top the book's magic in a two hours film. It's not a bad movie, but it's not what should have been. Nice cinematography in some scenes but the director fails in portray to us the strongest side of the characters. I give the movie a 6 out of 10, cause anyways, it's a good approach to the book, and the people that doesn't know about this story, i recommend this movie as the best out there about Trujillo and his "nasty" regime.
