La Fiesta Silenciosa

Amazing movie, don't miss it if you cross paths with it. For real. It's very difficult to find a good argentinian film and this blew my mind. All their resourced played perfectly and couldn't been made better. Acting, setting are superb, you really won't find this quality in other indie argentinian films. Then the tension... it's very good. Normally these movies slow down in the second act, but this is not the case. It's perfectly crafted so your attention it's always on the point. It's really to celebrate this movie because believe me when I repeat, you will NOT find this quality filmmaking in any other argentinian production. Congratulations on everyone involved, your passion while doing this was transmitted to viewers, keep doing it this great.

This is one of the few Argentinian films I've ever seen, so I can't compare it to what else they're doing over there, but in every way, it's an excellent independent thriller. I say "independent" because this film isn't just interested in delivering the genre goods (which it does well, BTW). It's a film that has something to say, a film that makes you think. I won't go into what I think the filmmakers or saying, or try to explain what I felt--I don't want to give anything away. But I will say that what sets it apart from a run-of-the-mill thriller is the character ambiguity. Everyone in this film is flawed to some degree, and so the characters are much richer and authentic as a result. Some people like their thrillers straight up, black & white, and so for them, this might not work as well. But if you like smart movies, shot with style, well-crafted, extremely well acted, AND delivering genre thrills, this is the movie for you!

This movies is a litmus test for misogyny and victim-blaming. If you hated it because you hated and blamed the main protagonist you need help. Professional help. It is an artsy movie with some of the scenes lasting unnecessarily long but the format of the movie supports these kind of scenes without making it pretentious. I really liked the ambiguous ending and I think this movie draws on the larger themes of assault, patriarchy, and victim blaming. Don't trust the reviews with bad ratings since most of them draw upon their own internalised misogyny.

1.5 / 10.

What about this movie? From start to finish it's vague, there's no point, no action, no conversation, we don't bond with the characters. The elaboration is even worse, unrealistic, stupid and in the end one big nothing. Unexplained and unfinished. Actors unconvincing. The film doesn't hold attention.

I hated it. The girl victomizes herself too much and acts like she has it the worst. From the beginning she was so annoying. Yes, it was kind of interesting to watch but it ends at the worst possible time, leaves so many questions and makes you hate all of the characters. So many people got in trouble just because she couldnt keep it in the pants.
