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.

Alix Turner

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

Absorbing in its execution of character drama and theme.

Movie Nation

One can praise the glossy production design and courtroom scenes rendered as dull as real life, and that's about it.

Rated: 1.5/4

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.

La trama está bien, creo que faltan explorar cosas, y otras sobran un poco. Buenas actuaciones, pero una mala direccion
