    So good!! AMAZING ACTORS!!

    Such a good movie!!! The only problem is you will lose many jokes if you are not Argentinian. As an Argentinian, is a MUST! If you are not Argentinian, still watch it! But take in mind that you might not laugh on the parts where we die laughing!

    This is what argentine film industry should do more

    A film for the masses, that's what i'm talking about. It's not just contenting the critics but the people. And this movie is a great example: great critic reviews and a great acceptance by the public. Don't lose the opportunity to watch it at the big screen, it's worth it.

    Read first the book, then make your own conclusions

    La Odisea de los Giles is based on the novel "La Noche de la Usina" written by Eduardo Sacheri. The same writer who wrote the novel that inspired to make the Oscar winning film "The Secret in their Eyes".

    I loved so much the book and I thought the movie would be a gem. But not. I understand that some things from the book are not possible to transport to the language of cinema. Still, there were some details of the book that were missing and could have made the movie a little bit more better, more with surprising moments.

    I had the feeling that Ricardo Darín played as Darín. Boring. I couldn't believe his character of an ex fultball player (Perlassi). On the book I could feel so much the spirit of Perlassi. I could imagine what he was wearing, what he was thinking, even if it was not written on the book.

    I honestly believe that Leonardo Sbaraglia could have been a better cast for the role.

    If you read the book don't expect so much. If you didn't read the book, then is a nice film for a Sunday afternoon. Thanks.

    Entertaining film

    Good actors, good humor, good dialogue and story that correlates with current Argentinian economic and political history
    8AgustinCesaratti

    INCREDIBLE!! Best Argentinian movie.

    For a film based on historical facts and not on a big budget, it's very well done. The cast is incredible and they were lucky enough to have the best actors in Argentina. The VFX, music, cinematography and plot are very well done.

    My tens and I hope it wins Best Foreign Film at the Oscars 2020.

    • Trivia
      Official submission of Argentina for the 'Best International Feature Film' category of the 92nd Academy Awards in 2020.
    • Goofs
      Daniel Aráoz's character (Belaúnde) is a railway worker, so many scenes show the Alsina train station. The tracks have concrete sleepers, which weren't installed until the late 2010's. Since the film is set in 2001, the tracks would have had wooden sleepers.
