The Crimes That Bind

I usually check the rating before I decide to watch a movie. In this case the movie was recommended to me by a person I trust and thanks God I decided to watch it despite the rating that some people gave to it. I am glad I did. This is an excellent movie and I can understand some people may have not liked it. I presume those people do not have the slightest idea how a movie that is labelled as "crime" do not have any shooting and still be good. The problem is that it is not a movie about crime, it is a movie about social and cultural differences of people living in the same country.

If you expect to watch action do not waste your time, it is not a movie for you. The plot is heart breaking, the acting is exceptional and the filming is very sober. There are some aspects that are difficult to grasp if you have not lived in a place where Justice is over-ridden by money.

Movie teaches life, crime, judgement and emotional decisions specifically inside families.

Very nicely portrayed and well crafted screen play. Recommend it.

Very heart rendering movie from Argentina, in Spanish. Solid acting. What does a woman do when she discover she's with child, and will be thrown out of her dwelling into homelessness & penniless? And no family to fall back? All evidences stacked against her. Her savior soon turned accuser, her earlier kindness now seem self serving.

The story unfolded like a multi bulbed onion, layer by layer, in parallel.

What would you have done if you were the victim, or the accuser? The audience & the court will believe everyone's testimony - except the victim's. How would you save the victim?

Please watch this movie. It is as realistic as it can be. I am Argentinian and work in the court system and the reality of the characters, settings and social differences are outstandingly portrayed. The acting is great, from the main characters to the extras. It makes you feel like you are seeing reality through a window. The plot is beyond interesting and so real it actually hurts. This is (sadly) what happens in the real world. Just PERFECTLY DONE.

This movie is based on real events and that makes the film more sad . The problem with this film is the pacing in my opinion . It too slow and sometimes boring . After the 3/4 of the film it gets faster and the tension increases . This movie is heartbreaking and it just's ... it's really WOW . The acting is amazing every single actor nails the role . If it wasn't that slow this movie could be a masterpiece??
