The Crimes That Bind

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 ...

Please watch this movie. It is as realistic as it can be. I am Argentinian and work in the court system and the reality of the characters, settings and social differences are outstandingly portrayed. The acting is great, from the main characters to the extras. It makes you feel like you are seeing reality through a window. The plot is beyond interesting and so real it actually hurts. This is (sadly) what happens in the real world. Just PERFECTLY DONE.

If you love drama flicks, where social diversyties and where there are opportunities and opportunists, where the hearts are open for everyone, and that cruelties should be sorted out in a decent and fairplayed way, then this might be for you.

its argentinian, i guess its the 4th film from that country that i watch, and it shows a social realism that really understates the poverty and striving among common people, the corruptiveness that even the rich have to bail in with are just gobsmacking. its a comprehensive look into the judicial system and gives you a hint how important religion are in argentina.

its a near perfect production, a bit springing in the start, but when you find the ead youre trolled into the trials of inhumanity.

its a good sopanish spoken human drama with peculiar and strange human interaction, a film the grumpy old man thinks you should see, but be patient, it may feel slow in the start but hang on.

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.

This movie is based on real events and that makes the film more sad . The problem with this film is the pacing in my opinion . It too slow and sometimes boring . After the 3/4 of the film it gets faster and the tension increases . This movie is heartbreaking and it just's ... it's really WOW . The acting is amazing every single actor nails the role . If it wasn't that slow this movie could be a masterpiece??
