Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times 04/12/2019
[Espósito] gives a compellingly spare, tight-lipped performance that handily carries this incisively observed character study - one in which the notion of guilt is collectively split among many a bloodstained hand. Go to Full Review
Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter 09/04/2018
Beyond showing that an entire country will have an opinion on a court case they vaguely follow in papers and on TV, The Accused offers surprisingly little in terms of analysis, insight or even irony. Go to Full Review
Jay Weissberg Variety 09/04/2018
"The Accused" is solid, straightforward storytelling... Go to Full Review

3/5
Unlikely to surprise you at any point, with either its plot or style. But it's never less than an enjoyable watch with a compelling lead performance. Go to Full Review

Samir N May 4 cero climax all is cryptic "you make the ending what you want" type of movie bs, don't waste your time. See more 07/21/2020 Besides some unnecessary scenes towards the end of the film, the film offers a narrative that differs from other murder-trial films leaving the courtroom melodrama as background noise rather than the central part of the plot. See more 12/27/2018 An outstanding courtroom thriller, portraying all aspects of a legal battle, from the devastating psychological consequenses on the accused and her whole family, to her deceptive and suspicious behavior throughout legal procedures and relationships. See more 12/24/2018 Entretenida,aunque tambien un poco lenta 6/10 See more 12/12/2018 Acusada es una cinta que pretende ser pero no es. Pretende ser profunda en su reflexion sobre las diferencias generacionales al momento de decidir lo que es "bueno" o malo. Pretende tambien mostrar el lado oscuro de la sociedad avida de morbo por la nota roja y capaz de juzgar y destruir sin pensarlo. Hablando de pretender, igual intenta llevar un juicio que "40 millones de personas siguen por la television", generando intrigas en la mente del espectador. Pero todo lo anterior, con un guion flojo, una protagonista forzada en las expresiones (no siempre atinadas) y sin mucho giro que ofrecer, se queda en el intento. Sin embargo, si de algo no se le puede acusar a la Acusada es de ser aburrida; de hecho, la cinta mantiene un buen ritmo de principio a fin y permite de una u otra manera conectar sobretodo con un padre desesperado por demostrar la inocencia de su hija de cara a la sociedad llena de prejuicios. Acusada bien podria haber profundizado en las heridas y llevado a un clima de autentico ´suspense´, quiza de no haber querido abarcar mucho y apretar poco. Que alguien me explique: ¿que diablos tuvo que hacer Gael Garcia ahi? See more 09/17/2018 I watched this movie during TIFF and found it to be INCREDIBLE! The actors Lali Esposito and Leonardo Sbaraglia are magic on the screen, and the direction was top notch. See more Read all reviews
