The Crimes That Bind

Heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. We watched this movie with my family and we all loved it. I really can't understand the low rating though.

I would say this is a plain story. At the beginning it gives you bit of thrill but middle of the story all revealing. Protogonist actress, Cecilia Roth Giving hell of a acting here and exceptional. All credits goes to her. She is giving emotional facts which bind with son finally bind with crime.

Although Movie looks like Mystery movie but in the end it proves out be good Drama movie based on Human Relations and Human emotions. It has been filmed like a mystery movie so you get glued to screen. I strongly recommend this movie.

This Netflix film is a dubbed Argentine film, inspired by a true story. A slow burn drama/mystery that is best to watch without knowing anything. The acting is well done by most, and I read that it's pretty authentic for that country. The film is basically two stories in one with a rich couple at the center. Alicia and Ignacio are dealing with their troubled son who is on trial and a relationship with their "simple minded" maid and her adorable 3-year-old son. Slow paced but very intentional on how it unwinds, going back and forth in time to gradually reveal what transpired in this family. Even if you guess the outcome, or think you have, the film will pull you along to see how it unfolds. This movie is both heartbreaking and heartwarming as you witness the character development, trauma, and humanity of this family. If you go in knowing this isn't a fast-paced, vibrant, Hollywood thriller, you'll be able to enjoy this gradual crime drama, IMHO!

I simply cannot recommend this movie enough. Superbly acted and the story line is absolutely both heart-breaking yet optimistic. Two thumbs up. Beautiful.

Slow but has enough pace to keep you glued.Well made and the emotions ,specially the pain of a mother is so palpable.Leaves a dent in you heart.highly recommended.

I liked the story and the events... And the motherhood is well played by the main actress But we were left with sort of an open ending... That was my only off
