75 días

Badly written, badly acted, poor photography, very poor directing; even makes Antonia San Juan looks like a woden face. They have a lot of story to tell, but instead, they make a boring screenplay, where some actors are dubbed (because director maybe didn´t like their voice). It looks like you are watching amateur acting everytime; something like a cinema student´s first movie. Don´t ruin your time watching this.

I´ve watched a lot of documentaries about it, interviews in different TV shows and different podcasts about it. Here in Spain, it is one of the most important "media TRUE CRIME" case; not at the moment, but yes in 90´s. In Spain crimes prescribe in 20 years, witch it makes boring and redundant talking again and again about it. Everybody knows about the story. There´s been 30 years from that; I think that´s why we want to comment again on it, even if we don´t know nothing new about it. That´s a mistake, becouse you don´t have anything new, and people are starting to get bored about it.

Maybe it is time to tell more stories and forget about taht one. If it would be USA where crimes don´t prescribe it would have sense to e a cold case and investigate more. But here it is CLOSED, lets left it like that please. And if you do something, make it a bit more cinematografically interesting.

1 Star out of 10.

Remarkable recreation of the infamous Alcásser crime, which shocked Spanish society in the 90s. The film is remarkable for various aspects: the fluidity of the narrative, with an intelligent use of ellipsis; the appropriate grayish tone; the sobriety in the treatment, away from the harshness, and the acting work, with the magnificent Ana Fernández at the head of the cast. As its title suggests, 75 days focuses on the investigations carried out following the disappearance of the ill-fated Miriam, Toñi and Desireé, combining objectivity with speculation, but without this becoming sensational. Second film by Marc Romero, a director to be reckoned with.

Although the opening scene has been dramatized for better understanding, and the ending scene is an assumption (something it makes clear), the rest of the film is a fairly accurate picture of what happened as recorded.

The film is ESSENTIAL for anyone who wants to open their eyes to the reality that surrounds us and remains hidden.

It is true that for those familiar with the case many things are missing. Important data that shows that the official version is leaking everywhere. But Marc Romero has made an excellent summary without wanting to get wet in what is not fully proven.

It's already wet enough.

And there are thousands of us who thank him.

Thanks for doing it. We have waited years to see it and the wait has been worth it.

The story well deserves a series that tells step by step and in depth each unknown.

To count it in a movie the result is 10.

Marc Romero surprises in his first film with a more than acceptable job.

And something very important in this story, he has done it with tremendous respect.

It was not easy to tell it without falling at some point into bad taste or morbidity. And he succeeds in spades. Respect prevails over everything.

The technical work has pleasantly surprised me. Atmosphere, times, rhythm, photography, sound... All gratifying. I don't know why I expected something of lower quality.

Very well done script.

Nothing easy to structure due to the complexity of the story and all the inexplicable data that surround it.

The performances are mostly good. Removing some secondary character, everyone has done an excellent job and in some cases magnificent.

Brutal "True Crime".

I saw this movie at the London Film Festival and I was impressed.

It was a case no Spaniard would ever forget. In 1992, three teenage girls from Alcàsser, Valencia, aged 14-15, disappeared one night after hitchhiking to reach a nightclub in the nearby town of Picassent, only for their bodies to be discovered two months later. Nearly thirty years after the case of the Alcàsser girls, Marc Romero revisits the story that shook a nation due to the extreme brutality of the crimes, the highly criticised police investigation, and the extensive, venal media coverage that trailed the story. With documentary-style rigour, the film steers clear of gory sensationalism or melodrama, focusing instead on the incompetence and lack of empathy with which the case was handled.
