The Secret in Their Eyes

This Argentinian film isn’t flashy in any way except for the clarity of the portrait of its characters. I saw this a couple of months ago, so this is just a quick note to say it should be seen. The movie takes place in two time frames. A prosecutor retires and reflects on an old unsolved murder case from his early days on the job. The movie explores both the criminal case and his own relationship with his colleagues, including a frustrated romantic interest in a partner who has later become a judge. It is funny, gripping, and romantic; smart, fast-paced, and well-written, beautifully acted, and tautly directed. We should have more movies like this one.
