I have watched a few Argentinian films and most have been in the mould of Perdida. Good, watchable.
This one, however, is on a different level. After 15 minutes I exclaimed to my partner : "This film is fantastic !".
This film stirs so many emotions : anger, horror at the inevitability of events that happen to some people who, through their childhood, were not given the means to discern the true rights and wrongs, and downright unjust; the terrible things that people do in the name of "family"; the incompleteness of some people's apologies to events and other people; and many more subtle points made by this film.
It's a heart rending film that leaves you angry, and that's a very good result.
Oscar material.
A 10 for me.
