Reviews
Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Isabelalejandrameza I don't typically write movie reviews, but I felt compelled to do so with this one. Note: I speak Spanish fluently so I watched without subtitles. I don't know what could be lost in translation. But being able to fully understand the dialogue surely makes a difference. I've seen this movie many, many, many times in the years since it first released in the USA. I saw it twice in the theater, I've never done that before this movie and since then. It is by far the best movie I've seen. The acting is outstanding. Ricardo Darin always delivers, but this one was just amazing. Even though the storyline moves back and forth in time, it's so that the viewer understands exactly why things happen. You laugh, you cry, you cringe. It's a roller coaster of emotions. The dialogue is amusing and spot on. The closeup of the different characters eyes at peak moments is subtle but so telling. The one camera take of the climatic scene really takes your breath away; you feel like you're there. I recommend this movie all the time. Perfection!
karan-92612 I am writing this review after seeing this excellent piece of work, this is my very first review and the last one , i have been seeing movies for the past decade and never came across something like that which compelled me to write a review trust me i have most probably see every movie in IMDb top250 , about the movie i would just say it is one of a kind a very different and unexpected experience 10/10 for me don't miss this , any one who avoids foreign films because of subtitles i would say begin from this film,and also not miss Amlie, Intouchable's, Wild Tales. {[(God Bless)]}.<<---this is a blessing not a Film :-).
mallaverack What's this - ten stars for a movie in which the most vital turning point appears completely out of left field!? Gomez rapes and murders a young woman in the most brutal and sadistic way imaginable but because he is useful to the political regime as an informer, he is released!!! For non-Argentinian viewers, the time (1970s) in which this horrendous crime was committed was barely touched upon thereby providing no context for the later release of the prisoner. This is a HUGE weakness in an other wise well-produced movie. For me, from this glaringly incredulous stage of the plot, I struggled to maintain interest.I must also say that the evasive romantic links between the two major characters seemed a bit trite. Do normal adults behave so? Very wimpish and immature was how their attempts at expressing their feelings came across to me.Hardly worthy of an Oscar nomination let alone being declared the winner.
Miguel Neto El secreto de sus ojos is a film that deserves to be seen, maybe it is the best Argentinean film ever made, it is for the Argentinean cinema what City of God is for the Brazilian cinema, the direction is by Juan José Campanella and he does a great Ricardo Darin who is possibly a great Argentinean name is impeccable, the rest of the cast is very competent too, the dialogues are excellent and some are very heavy in the sense of being a deep dialogue, the film has a plot twist very good and surprising as well , the soundtrack is beautiful, and the movie also thrilled in many moments, El secreto de sus ojos is a filming, one of the best films of 2009, with great dialogues, performances and an excellent direction, has some problems, I think the movie it loses a little rhythm, but nothing that spoils the experience. Note 9.7
