I'm a real fan of film noir, and also fond of crime stories, so I must say a film like Betibu had to catch my attention. The film does work as a thriller, the actors are really superb, especially Mercedes Moran and Daniel Fanego, can't say the same about Jose Coronado or Alberto Amman, probably they try to do their best bus the result is not remarkable. But the main strength of the movie comes from the powerful narrative dominion director has. The characters are complicated, interesting, believable, funny,and deeply human. It's lovely watching it in Spanish, though Argentinians speak their own Spanish, and enjoy the brilliant dialog between all the characters. Highly recommended.

A day like any other , at a luxurious suburban neighborhood , a wealthy man named Pedro Chazarreta is found murdered . But previously this powerful businessman was the prime suspect of having killed his wife . The editor of the most known newspaper of Argentina , Jose Coronado, assigns the known novelist and retired journalist Nurit Iscar ,alias Betibu : Mercedes Moran to investigate and to write about it . She along with other two journalists : Daniel Faraldo , Alberto Ammann investigate the strange deeds and discover terrible happenings with unexpected consequences . The Crime Was Just The Beginning ! .

Crime thriler with plenty of intrigue , suspenseful and red herrings . A nice thriller based on the homonymous novel by Claudia Piñeiro with script by director himself Miguel Cohen and his sister Ana Cohen . This intriguing fim mingles corruption, murders and journalistic investigation . Stars Mercedes Moran who outstands giving an excelent acting as well as Daniel Fanego and Alberto Amman . This trio of protagonists are well accompanied by a fine support cast , such as: Norman Briski , Marina Bellati and Jose Coronado.

The picture was well and professionally directed by Miguel Cohen . This is his second film after "Sin Retorno" also co-written by his sister Ana Cohen . It won several prizes, such as : winner Award of the Argentinean Academy , Best screenplay : Ana Cohen, Miguel Cohan , Best Film , Best Director , Best actor : Daniel Fanego, Best Actress : Mercedes Moran , Best Supporting Actress : Carola Reyna , Best Music : Federico Jusid and Best Sound . As well as Argentinean Film Critics Association Awards 2015 Winner, Best Screenplay Adapted and Nominee : Best actress Mercedes Moran , Best Supporting actor : Daniel Fanego and Best Editing .

This movie is a crime thriller with a nice cast and a plot that develops during all the runtime. So is a great movie if u are a fan of detective movies, or cop movies.

Also mercedes moran looks really beautiful in the movie(she is the main character)and is worth to see her play a really smart writer who works for a small newspaper.
