Started well enough, but the ending is a travesty of what we know of Lorca's death, which is ultimately very little. The worst part of this is that it pretends to know what happened and does so in a way that actually let's the fascists off the hook by means of a convoluted plot that injects the entirely fictional into the completely historical. A missed opportunity to make a good film about an important moment. As I need 600 words, I'd like to point out that Ian Gibson has done as much as anyone to reconstruct that moment in Granada. But he well knows that it didn't happen like this. We know he died with a teacher and at least one bullfighter, if not two. We don't know who shot him or who gave the orders.
