What The Critics Said
The New Yorker David Denby
It’s powerfully and richly imagined: a genre-busting movie that successfully combines the utmost in romanticism with the utmost in realism.
Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
Juan Jose Campanella is the writer-director, and here is a man who creates a complete, engrossing, lovingly crafted film. He is filled with his stories. The Secret in Their Eyes is a rebuke to formula screenplays. We grow to know the characters, and the story pays due respect to their complexities and needs.
Chicago Reader Andrea Gronvall
Director Juan José Campanella weaves together two love stories--between the victim and her husband, and the investigator and his former boss (Soledad Villamil)--and creates some masterful set pieces; his breathless chase through a packed soccer stadium is a marvel of choreography and top-notch CGI.
Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips
What are the odds that the year's most compelling mystery would end up hanging its hat on the year's richest love story
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Rick Groen
The wonder is that the film balances its many genres, from the thorns of murder to the bloom of romance to the thickets of politics, with such easy grace.
St. Petersburg Times Steve Persall
The movie grabbed me and wouldn't let go during a bravura set piece at a soccer game when Campanella's camera glides into the stadium, finds Benjamin's face in the crowd and doesn't stop moving (with only a couple of edits) for six breathtaking minutes.
