The China Syndrome (1979)★ 7.5/10

The story reminded me of "The Insider," though this film digs even deeper with its social commentary. There’s a bleakness that permeates the entire experience. As the engineer Jack reaches for that button near the film’s end, I couldn’t hold back mytears.

The film draws you in slowly but powerfully. I found myself deeply invested in the characters’ fates, with tension mounting scene by scene. By the end, I was devastated and helpless. The near absence of music only adds to the emotional weight. This was so emotionally draining I've to seek lighter films lately.

Una muestra del poder de los medios de comunicación y del oficio de las personas.
La protagonista me recordó todo el tiempo a Amy Adams.
