The Secret in Their Eyes (2010)

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

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!

Some movies just connect with us more deeply and increase our respect towards films. This is one of such movies. The way story is told and the impact it leaves after we finished watching can't be explained in in words. Even though I watched the whole movie with the help of subtitles(as it is in Spanish) , I never felt any significant difference in movie experience , it's largely due to amazing acting and direction. One of the unforgettable movies I watched ever.Final 30 minutes is just mind blowing.

Una de las mejores películas en la historia del cine latinoamericano.

The movie is simply superb, looks like if the things are happening really in front of the eyes. Excellent direction, superb acting and awesome script.It is a movie which is so captivating because of the right mix of comedy, thriller, suspense,romance and drama. Some of the scenes in the movie are very intense with some very funny moments. Overall it is a no non-sense movie, without any unreal actions or stunts. It has a very real ending with very interesting and twisted plot in the end. Non verbal communication is very important part of communication is getting correctly depicted in the "El secreto de sus ojos"It is a must watch movie.
