Some of the movie's political shadings about Argentina in the early '80s may not quickly resonate with American viewers. Still, it's impossible not to be drawn into the unnerving world of the Puccios.

A mordant if unwieldy thriller examining how evil not only becomes the norm, but a virtue.
Peter Keough, Boston Globe

It's a testimony to the skill of Francella and the filmmaker how much this movie transcends a history lesson.
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle

Even if your knowledge of Argentina's political history is wanting, The Clan is still worth seeing.
Julia Cooper, Globe and Mail

Trapero has crafted a compelling tale about the tragic price of unquestioning loyalty.
