El caso Yara Gambirasio: Más allá de toda duda razonable

Frankly speaking, a good reason to cancel the Netflix subscription.

The documentary exclusively supports the defendant's point of view and ends by claiming that the prosecutor is under investigation for fraud.

The reality is that criminal prosecution in Italy is mandatory when there is a complaint (and the defendant's attorney filed a complaint) but the action ended with the prosecutor's acquittal of all charges.

The evidence brought by the public prosecution in this case is indisputable. The genetic profiles of person of interest 1 and 2 were ascertained well before the people to whom they belong were identified. What is extraordinary in this case is that the genetic profiling of almost 20,000 volunteers made it possible to determine the existence of an illegitimate child, the result of an extramarital relationship of which no one was aware, except the mother of the accused and his natural father, who died 12 years earlier. This illegitimate child was found guilty of killing Yara Gambirasio.

Netflix documentary falsely claims the evidence of the defendant's van, circling 16 times around the gym, was fabricated. The reality is that a video released by investigators showed images shot by 5 different cameras. Only one provided images of such quality as to allow certain identification of the defendant's van. The images shot by the other four cameras only show a van "compatible" with the defendant's one. However, in the entire province of Bergamo (1,060 square kilometers in area and 1,115 million inhabitants) there were only three vans compatible with that of the defendant. The probability that other vehicles, compatible to the defendant's one, were circulating around the Yara gym, on the same day at the same time, thus reducing the identifications from 16 to "only" 5, was considered by the jury to be low and, ultimately, irrelevant. Bossetti's van was indeed circling around the gym when Yara disappeared, as for the evidence presented by the prosecution.

Much emphasis is placed on the trainer's genetic material found on Yara's jacket or on cell phone traces. The jury found these elements irrelevant. Yara and the coach met regularly at the gym. The genetic material may have been deposited on the vest days, or even weeks, before Yara disappeared.

The cell phones do not prove at all that the defendant was at home at the time of Yara's disappearance. No one confirmed his alibi, not even his family, and the defendant has no explanation as to why his van was circling around Yara's gym at the time of her disappearance.

Massimo Bossetti is rotting in jail and deservedly so.

This show is TERRIBLE to watch. Not because of the story. The story is sad. The production is terrible. It goes back and forth in time. Why??? It's pointless. Tell the story chronologically. Why not?

Plus, either do it all in ENGLISH or don't do it!! Do a version for Italy if you want to hear Italian. It's terrible to hear both English and Italian at the same time. Very hard to listen to.

They flash who the people are for one tenth of a nanosecond in Italian. Put it in ENGLISH. That is who the customers are in THE USA.

The news reporters are in Italian. Why?? Just do it all in one language. This really takes away from the documentary.

First of all, my condolences to Yara's family.

Now about this movie itself. I really didn't like how in this movie the timeline keeps changing back and forth again and again. So confusing!!! No reason for that at all. It would be way more interesting and easier to watch it with the normal timeline. Also, the translation is annoying . Why not to add a normal doubler translation??? Nowadays, with AI it is so easy to translate to any language you want, and translating can be done even in the original voices.

Overall I think this movie was poorly made, and I wish Netflix had better quality control.

The continuous back and forth between multiple time lines is extremely confusing and irritating. At one point in the 3rd episode I just didn't know what part of the sequence of events was I even seeing anymore.

If you want to go back and forth, then just keep it to 2 timelines OR better just go in a sequential order.

The editor has made a mess of things completely destroying the documentary.

Also wassup with the subtitles and audio translation? Every scene starts off with the original Italian audio and then the English audio cuts in, the screen at the same time shows the original Italian text (name of the person talking on screen), and the subtitles then randomly shows the person's name in between what is being said.

I still completed the series because I really wanted to find out what happened. But my god, the production of this thing is a complete mess.

STOP inserting the original audio language in translated versions.

STOP inserting the original language words on-screen in translated versions.

STOP with the multiple timelines if you don't know what you are doing. You are NOT Nolan.

A missed opportunity for a powerful story The case of Yara Gambirasio is deeply tragic and undeniably compelling - a story that truly deserved a thoughtful and well-crafted documentary. Unfortunately, this production falls short on nearly every level.

Rather than providing clarity or insight, the film gets lost in a confusing maze of timelines, endless speculation, and a flood of unanswered questions. At times, it feels more like an episode of Lost than a serious true crime documentary - piling on mystery after mystery without resolving any of them.

The chaotic structure, lack of narrative focus, and questionable direction end up doing a disservice not only to the viewer, but to Yara's memory as well.

She deserved better.
