A truly amazing film

Rating: 10/10 (4 June 2011)

This film surpassed all my expectations. 'The secret in their eyes' proved to be one of the most poignant and masterfully crafted movies I have ever seen. The acting is nothing short of superb, and the depth of the characters, regardless of the barrier of language which an English-speaking audience may invariably experience, is wonderful. The film is profoundly captivating throughout, with a scattering of one or two truly comedic moments punctuating a piece of intense and shocking drama, which ultimately proves to be a tale of both extreme love and engulfing tradegy.
The ending is typical of the entire film, highly subtle yet full of emotion, leaving the viewer to endlessly ponder the nature of true justice, if such a thing exists. I would thoroughly recommend this film to anyone and everyone who might be considering watching it, it is a masterpiece of modern cinema and is brilliantly abstract when compared to the monotonic tide of Hollywood blockbusters which generally dominate cinema.
