The film is really good, with excellent performances. [Full review in Spanish]

While the logistics and cinematography are entirely enamoring it is the interiority of these characters that draws us with such intent...

| Original Score: 96/100 | Sep 9, 2021

A memorable film from writer/director Juan Jose Campanella.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 22, 2020

Just like Sweden's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the makers of this film seem to confuse high art and police procedural.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 5, 2020

The film's bifurcated structure is the most interesting thing about Secret In Their Eyes, but it can't save the incredibly ham handed script.

| Jan 10, 2020

For all its drama, it feels painfully forced and trite, as dour and dull as it is unfocused.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 5, 2019

An interesting treatise on the notion of ardency and the nobility of longstanding, ungratified love, plus a sly critique of the malleability of justice in '70s Argentina.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 27, 2019

...a true, albeit bittersweet pleasure for everyone who watches it. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 19, 2018

More of Eva and Juan Peron and the impact of fascism on the society would have added to the movie. Nevertheless, it is a good ride, but not a great one.

In perfect synchrony, all of it's elements come together to create a masterpiece. [Full review in Spanish]

... what might have been just a two-hour episode of Law and Order: Argentina is instead a rich, literary tapestry. ... I wish this could become a franchise.

| Original Score: B+ | Jun 15, 2012

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 16, 2011

This decade-hopping, tone-shifting mystery-thriller-romance from Argentina is about as deep as a kiddie pool, which isn't to say it's an unpleasant frolic.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 16, 2011

This complex and involving Argentinean crime drama, with strong moral overtones, won the Best Foreign Language Oscar.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 21, 2011

There are some "Are we there yet?" stretches as the film plays out toward the unexpected ending, but the final destination is worth the total travel time.

| Jan 31, 2011

The story's political subtext ... provides a constant undertow of fear and menace to the hero's investigation.

| Jan 10, 2011

The Secret in Their Eyes ... is an enjoyable procedural in its own right. Campanella's film is the Argentine equivalent of Gone Baby Gone, with a touch of Atonement thrown in for good measure.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 21, 2010

It's a handsome production with a story rooted in the nasty past of political fascism, which may explain why it won, because it sure isn't subtle or dramatically challenging.

| Sep 26, 2010

Tightly structured, visually conscious, well-acted mystery and love story.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 25, 2010

A superior procedural.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 19, 2010
