Review

Ricardo Darín and Soledad Villamil are old colleagues in the judicial system who reacquaint after 25 years and start unravelling a brutal murder which they were not able to solve back in the day. This Argentine Oscar winner for Best Foreign Language Film combines an intriguing crime story with a political context and some fine human observations along the way. It's a clever movie in every respect, with a handful of brilliant acting performances to boot.
