Summary: A retired lawyer (Ricardo Darín) wants to write a novel about a crime he tried to solve thirty years earlier: a woman was raped and murdered. When the court decided to close the case for lack of evidence, he and his sidekick (Guillermo Francella) relay on one loose clue: a man looking at the victim, in an old photograph. (by KGB)
Sublime and spellbinding, this superb romantic thriller from Argentina really gets under your skin. "El secreto de sus ojos" is top-notch entertainment -the mystery is engrossing, the love story is beautiful, the performances are nunanced, the script is subtle and the direction mesmerizing. Unpredictable and surprising until the final moments, it is a welcome departure from the recycled norms of American pseudo-thrillers and, simultaniously, utterly exhilarting and accesible. A small marvel.
This is a slow but well paced, dialogue heavy thriller from Argentina that explorers how one event can change lives.The acting, particularly Ricardo Darín and Soledad Villamil in this film is superb and really carries the film along.Based on what we know about the characters beliefs and motivations the ending comes off as logical and consistent with the rest of the film.Two Thumbs Up.
This is one of the best around, because it works in so many ways: a thriller, a mystery, a romance, and a morality tale. It's beautifully shot and is one of the recent wave of digital films that make me excited about the future of digital cinematography. The scene in the soccer stadium is worthy of Alfred Hitchcock.
This rather messy mish mash of plots is made watchable by the witty and sharp dialogue and gentle comedy which, while it makes you laugh, undermines the extremely dark nature of the main plot, however. This darkness never seems to resolve with the romantic subplot and the final product is a lot less than it promises.
Silent and patient drama with interesting characters. It's not a big and twisted plot which makes "In their eyes" absolutely stunning. All those small details and the intention of the lawyer, who can't forget the cruel crime for centuries makes this one highly recommendable! If you expect a suspense thriller you might get disappointed! Beautiful cinema from Argentina!
Meh. A messy and - excusing the interesting (if admittedly nowhere near as suprising as it thinks it is) ending - bland suspense film. Also the attempt to mix light comedy with this dark, dark plot irked me, and the way the investigation was carried out felt kinda lulz-worthy. It's competently made, and quite watchable, but I can't say I was ever even half as impressed as some people were.
