Riposare in pace

Not really a thriller but a drama, convincing drama but, yes, rather unbelievable. However, acting and directing are good and let us forget many unlikely scenes and situations. I doubt this movie was ever released in movie theaters, or in only a few ones. I don't know any of the actors, and the production design, overall atmosphere, were quite good enough for my taste. The ending is also worth the watch, and justifies to endure the whole film. Not a Hollywood like plot, that's the most important. Too many non American pictures try to imitate the US fashion. This is a sad story, not a super hero tale.

They did not do a good job of convincing us that the married couple was close. We see very little of their relationship before the big stuff happens. I don't think they told us what product the family company made. Why make them Jewish? They didn't sell the Jewish angle. I didn't believe it.

There is a large passage of time during which we see very little of what happens in people's lives. Was the grey beard meant as a disguise because the guy was planning to resurface, or just to show the passage of time? Couldn't he have trimmed it to look less homeless? As people mentioned, the women didn't look older.

I did feel the emotions of the main characters. That much was good. I was actually ok with the ending too. I know a lot of people hated it.

The kind of guy who let himself get into such debt, kept it from his family, and made the other decisions he made, would probably not know what to feel or do when facing the consequences of his actions. He waffled, caused more pain, and failed again.

Taking advantage of the historical fact of the attack on AMIA (July 1994), the plot becomes a parade of unlikely things, something that no one would believe. Furthermore, there is an annoying stereotype in the main character's children that bothered me a lot. Do not waste your time. Completely unbelievable plot and unconvincing performances. In short, a rare mediocre Argentine film where the Jewish community is characterized as materialistic and enjoys showing off. And to make things worse, a friendly dog appears whose fate will remain unknown. The passage of time inhabits the things little explained in the film.

I don't recommend this, not even if you're bored and want to just turn something on. The whole time I kept thinking about how unrealistic the plot is. Not to mention frustrating because what was supposed to be the father sacrificing for the family, his actions in the movie were extremely egocentric. I couldn't get behind anything that he was doing... I have no idea who's the bad guy or good guy, or if there's even supposed to be any.

Literally no point to this film unless you want to feel annoyed.. Only reason it got stars is because I thought the production and etc were decent considering how bad the storyline is ..

Lets start with the good parts... Okay! I'm finished!

Now the bad parts : the movie has no sense at all! There is no reason watching it. The idea of the story is not bad but the execution in my opinion is terrible... You wait the whole movie for something to happen and during the last scene you wish it's not gonna be the last scene... and yet IT IS! The only hope that you have that this movie will give you something is gone right there on the spot, together with the endind titles. Nothing intresting at all.

I honestly feel bad for the time i spent watching this... Poor poor poor... Don't waste your time :)
