Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 08/20/2020
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. Go to Full Review
Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut 02/12/2021
3.5/5
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. Go to Full Review
Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media 09/03/2020

Alexsander F @Aelxs 10/18/2024 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. See more inta k @intuciic 01/08/2024 quite ok. interesting plot See more Mike H @mikeho247 06/04/2023 NOT A THRILLER whatsoever. It's 100% family drama. Not what I was expecting, but still very watchable. See more 09/05/2020 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. See more 08/28/2020 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.
