Crímenes de familia

Pearl of Argentine cinema, a fantastic playwright, very well conducted, to intrigue us and that plot twist, and the saddest, which is based on real facts, in fact, of two crimes that were unrelated, but generated an excellent very well produced work, highlighting Cecília and Yanina Ávila (who is a domestic worker and of humble origin), a beautiful, dramatic, sensitive, critical, stupendous film ...

Very heart rendering movie from Argentina, in Spanish. Solid acting. What does a woman do when she discover she's with child, and will be thrown out of her dwelling into homelessness & penniless? And no family to fall back? All evidences stacked against her. Her savior soon turned accuser, her earlier kindness now seem self serving.

The story unfolded like a multi bulbed onion, layer by layer, in parallel.

What would you have done if you were the victim, or the accuser? The audience & the court will believe everyone's testimony - except the victim's. How would you save the victim?

Movie teaches life, crime, judgement and emotional decisions specifically inside families.

Very nicely portrayed and well crafted screen play. Recommend it.

This could have been a classic melodrama straight out of the ark :it is not ,the treatment is not derivative and although one may guess the ending before the final revelation , the construction of the movie is rather subtle ,using two distinct plots with two accused persons (a man and a woman) :it's thirty minutes before both stories are linked with Ignacio 's testimony in Gladys affair and one learns that he and his wife are concerned by both .In these trials , for once, they do not show the brilliant lawyers but leaves the lion's share to the accused ,both well acted :butter would not melt in Daniel 's mouth and Gladys seems out of this world .What the bourgeois mother (excellent Cecilia Roth) plots with the shady lawyer backfires on her .

Based on a true story , it avoids tear-jerker tricks ,much to the credit to this Argentine movie.

Heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. We watched this movie with my family and we all loved it. I really can't understand the low rating though.
