How can someone live an empty life?

Rating: 9/10 (5 February 2011)

I have a love of shows like Law & Order and Bones. The only complaint I have is that they are not realistic.
This film present a murder and rape case in a manner that is truly believable, From the actual crime scenes to the attempts to catch the criminal to the attempts to cover things up, this is real.
Soledad Villamil and Ricardo Darín (XXY) play a judge and investigator from the opposite sides of the tracks, but who are very much in love. How all this plays out while the crime solving is going on is nothing short of mesmerizing. They are both brilliant actors, and you can sense the tension between them.
Juan Jose Campanella is a brilliant writer and director, and gave us a film that does not follow the usual formula. I am thankful for that.
