The Secret in Their Eyes (2010)

This is a memorable and good movie, proving strength of Argentinian cinema.While the movie is great on so many levels, some details of the plot are not so believable. However, strong delivery makes this not so important. It is atmospheric peace, that shows you some Argentinian culture and problems. However, it is also a powerful examination of justice in a dysfunctional system, has many memorable moments as a great movie would. So it can be forgiven its imperfections. By any means it is a refreshing and original movie, somewhat subtle which is what is the main advantage of such films over Hollywood industrial product.

Greetings from Lithuania.I found "The Secret in Their Eyes" (2009) a good mystery movie with some great performances, deep and not one note story and very solid directing. The ending was great. Although the movie dragged a bit during middle, not for a second did i was bored from the overall experience.Overall, "The Secret in Their Eyes" (2009) is a good movie. It was a powerful story, great acting, writing and directing. Good movie overall.

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.

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.
