Yara

"Yara" is a Drama - Thriller movie in which we follow the true story of a mysterious missing 13-year-old. This case was investigated by a prosecutor who did not lose her faith and tried very hard to solve the mystery behind it.

I liked this movie very much because it was based on a real case, it had an interesting plot that contained plenty of suspense and mystery, something that made it even more interesting. The direction which was made by Marco Tullio Giordana was very good and he did an excellent job on the way he presented the plot behind the missing person along with the key characters of the movie. The interpretations of Isabella Ragonese who played as Letizia Ruggeri, Thomas Trabacchi who played as Maresciallo Garro and Miro Landoni who played as Cancelliere Edoardo Carlini were very good. In conclusion, I have to say that "Yara" is an interesting thriller movie and I recommend you to watch it because I am sure that will leave you speechless.

This film has no fiction, but a lot about the reality of gender violence. A teenager disappeared in Bergamo, a city in northern Italy, capital of the homonymous province and part of the Lombardy region. In fact, she was kidnapped by the end of 2010, weeks later she was found dead in an open field on the outskirts of Bergamo. That shook Italy, so the police took the task of investigating the incident with very little chance of discovering the culprit, unless the necessary resources were put in place for this purpose and develop a thorough investigation. This was what the prosecutor Letizia Ruggeri set out to investigate for years and with traditional methods. Fortunately, we live in a world where there is scientific development in the field of molecular biology; it is known what a gene is, a short segment of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and an important part of the chromosomes. They tell us as a whole the hereditary material of the human body and the way it works. Therefore, there was no need for the services of Sherlock Holmes or detective Philip Marlowe. The film clearly shows the political baseness and the entanglements of an opposition to harm those responsible for the investigation, and as usual, without proposing any other alternative to get the truth of the case.

For all intents and purposes, this is a cold case but prosecutor Letizia Ruggeri's decision to embark on reverse investigation focusing on DNA analysis backed up by a database of DNA samples was crucial to unmasking the killer. As the film shows, it's a slow, painstaking process but, in the end, it yielded a perfect match.

It's not all science; otherwise, it could be boring. There's genuine drama as well focusing on the family's deep grief and Ruggeri's steely determination to catch the criminal.

This film is more about Ruggeri as investigator than about the victim or her grieving family but it's compelling nonetheless. The director succeeds in re-constructing a true story that doesn't sound like a documentary. Isabella Ragonese effectively portrays her role as the crusading prosecutor. A fitting message from her is, a quitter never wins.

Watch this film. It's uplifting.

Excellent production starts out snappy and well-constructed but loses focus towards the end. This may be a result of the nature of the true story taking several years to come to a conclusion. Not sure how the filmmakers could have solved this but a stronger soundtrack would have helped. This is not to say the music isn't good when it happens, it's very good, but the film needed more to fill in the gaps caused by the disjointed timeline of the case. Everyone on screen is very good.

Ok its not a masterpiece,but its very engrossing..Keeps you hooked and the best part is that its a true story..A must watch for all crime thriller watchers.
