📖 Synopsis
Buenos Aires, 1999. Retired judicial officer Benjamín Espósito begins writing a novel based on a case that has obsessed him for decades: the murder of a man's wife, a crime for which the husband was unjustly released for political reasons during the dictatorship. In 2009, Juan José Campanella directed the most awarded legal thriller in Argentine cinema—winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film—with a third-act twist that retroactively transforms the entire film into something else.

9.0/10
★★★★★
The Secret in Their Eyes is the most elegant thriller in Argentine cinema. Ricardo Darín in his finest performance. The final twist works because everything preceding it is impeccably crafted. The stadium sequence is technically dazzling.
