The Falklands War is so full of interesting moral, military and political dilemmas that it makes an interesting topic to cover - and this does a good job of looking at one side of the history. It's engaging to watch, well performed, and, even as a film, the theatrical format doesn't get in the way.
However it is so blatantly pro-British and pro-Thatcher that you will not walk away feeling like you understand the topic fully. It's the film equivalent of Churchills "fight them on the beaches" speech, full of stiff upper lip, keep calm carry on, and cups of tea.
If you're ok to see a propagandist view of a complex event, this is fine. But make sure you read into the other sides too.
