The Silent Party

Amazing movie, don't miss it if you cross paths with it. For real. It's very difficult to find a good argentinian film and this blew my mind. All their resourced played perfectly and couldn't been made better. Acting, setting are superb, you really won't find this quality in other indie argentinian films. Then the tension... it's very good. Normally these movies slow down in the second act, but this is not the case. It's perfectly crafted so your attention it's always on the point. It's really to celebrate this movie because believe me when I repeat, you will NOT find this quality filmmaking in any other argentinian production. Congratulations on everyone involved, your passion while doing this was transmitted to viewers, keep doing it this great.

This is one of the few Argentinian films I've ever seen, so I can't compare it to what else they're doing over there, but in every way, it's an excellent independent thriller. I say "independent" because this film isn't just interested in delivering the genre goods (which it does well, BTW). It's a film that has something to say, a film that makes you think. I won't go into what I think the filmmakers or saying, or try to explain what I felt--I don't want to give anything away. But I will say that what sets it apart from a run-of-the-mill thriller is the character ambiguity. Everyone in this film is flawed to some degree, and so the characters are much richer and authentic as a result. Some people like their thrillers straight up, black & white, and so for them, this might not work as well. But if you like smart movies, shot with style, well-crafted, extremely well acted, AND delivering genre thrills, this is the movie for you!

You can anticipate everything that is going to happen, and the characters act in illogical ways. some things happen without justification, but still entertaining.

It is an unusual and interesting psychological thriller drama from Argentina. I am sure that only a handful of folks will watch and appreciate it, and I perfectly understand that, because it could have been slightly better in terms of pace and story telling too. It is a very modern and I would say social, plot, though the kind of scheme already been told before in numerous movies. Acting is poor, that's the main problem, not that convincing. The strong point is that after the first half, the rythm suddenlly accelerates. It remains worth watching mainly because it is from Argentina, a country which stuff is not that easily available in Europe. It shows how can normal people become berserk, get into rage and I thought a bit about Sam Pecinpah's STRAW DOGS.

I hated it. The girl victomizes herself too much and acts like she has it the worst. From the beginning she was so annoying. Yes, it was kind of interesting to watch but it ends at the worst possible time, leaves so many questions and makes you hate all of the characters. So many people got in trouble just because she couldnt keep it in the pants.
