New York Times

Apezteguia's cinematography leans appropriately cool and brittle. But Schindel struggles with his pacing, and the movie dawdles too long before breaking into a sprint in the final 20 minutes.

Ready Steady Cut

Slow burn and impressive Argentinian drama about a woman determined to support her son, no matter the price; and who also sees her maid through a legal trial of her own.

Rated: 3.5/5

Um filme tocante e chocante, nos faz refletir bastante sobre a ética e a moral, muito presente nos dias atuais sobre crimes contra mulheres, e principalmente mulheres vulneráveis.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

NOT A THRILLER whatsoever. It's 100% family drama. Not what I was expecting, but still very watchable.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The events in this movie are very believable. Alicia is definitely the type of mom that many of us are. Protect and believe your family sometimes to a fault.

É difícil se conectar com a falta de sensibilidade da trama de ‘Crimes de Família', que cala a voz da vítima por achar mais interessante construir uma falsa redenção para a antagonista. Apesar de flertar levemente com críticas sociais importantes, o longa não escapa de ser monótono, chato e desinteressante boa parte de seu tempo. Se o seu intuito era desenvolver uma reflexão sobre a desigualdade social, é possível ver que a mensagem está lá, escondida entre os longos diálogos tediosos, mas abafada pela ausência de tato e empatia de um roteiro que não sabe exatamente de que lado está.
