Nahir

Great movie, loaded with so many emotions, it makes you ask yourself a lot of questions. Is there a single truth? Is there anyone innocent at all? Or do we all have our own angels and demons?

I liked the way the movie shows different possible versions and points of view. I also liked how they have paid attention to the details and tried to represent everything as close to the reality as possible - the clothes, the words, the dates of the events...

The tempo was a bit slow for my taste, but still good overall. Congratulations to the cast for their performance, they have done very well, especially with the fact that this is a kind of quiet movie, without many dialogues and speech.

Valentina Zenere has done an excellent job with the role of Nahir! This is a complex character with many faces and a mind that is difficult to understand. But Valentina has done well with this challenge, her performance is truly amazing and powerful! She is a very talented actress, and I really can't wait to watch her next projects!

What I think could be better, is that the other characters could have had more time on screen. I'd like to see more of Federico, Jorge Zanzini, the relations between Nahir's parents... But it's OK, I think they just wanted to focus more on Nahir.

Overall, I like the movie "Nahir" and highly recommend it! It's a movie that is worth watching, and definitely needs to be rewatched again a few more times in order to be understood and felt completely.

The characters are not believable, the acting is weak and heavy handed. The story felt dragged out, lots of unnecessary scenes and plenty of missing necessary ones. The repeating the murder scene but changing it each time has been done before but better in every movie I have seen it happen.

The writer does not appear to understand how to tell a story in a compelling manner. They seem to be aiming for humanising the lead but that did not work and they were not interesting or compelling. None of the characters are worth caring about and frankly I don't know why I didn't stop watching.

The people who worked on the lighting and shot composition have raised this from 1 star to 2.

If you read the case file many things happening in the show are simply not true. They want to potrait Nahir far better than she really was. A violent, agressive and cold human. Poor lad was being harrased and even hit several times (not shown) and psicoabused by this girl. Violence has no gender it goes both ways. As another user said on his review, storyline and music was simply awful. I think the actress does a good job though. I hope they reconsider doing a tv series more faithfull and coherent with the real facts and story. Falls too short and miss oportunity to tell a great story with much power.

This is my first review on IMDb. I feel compelled to warn people about the miscast actress in the lead role; she's 10 years older than when the perpetrator did this crime, and additionally, she's skeletally thin, clearly anorexic. I have no idea why Prime wanted to make this movie. And as for the actress playing the perpetrator's mother, she wears a ridiculous wig which is distracting, too.

I wanted to like this movie, but it was just terrible. Had to a actually fast forward through some parts. Tons and tons of kissing scenes, too. Gross. This is not a product that as a prime member I would have any interest in watching in the future; Amazon can do better.

Everyone knows some people have relationships that are full of drama and fighting, and it grew very tiresome to watch the back and forth of these two. The perpetrator was a blonde princess who, I would imagine, thought she'd get away with it or explain her way out of it. End of story.

The film is loosely based on a real criminal case that became a cause célèbre in Argentina. On December 2017, Fernando Pastorizzo, 20 years old, was found dead near his wrecked motorcycle on a street in Gualeguaychú, Province of Entre Ríos, a medium sized city 230 km north of Buenos Aires. His on/off girlfriend Nahir Galarza, 19, was the last to see him alive and was first interrogated as a witness, then as the principal suspect.

After a series of misleading and contradictory depositions, she confessed to killing Pastorizzo, and was sentenced to life in prison for first degree murder by a panel of three judges (trial by jury is the exception in Argentina). On 2018 she changed her story and the decision was appealed, but one year later it was confirmed by the Superior Court of the province. In 2022 she changed her version of the facts yet again and the case was appealed to the Supreme Court of Argentina that, as of today, June 13, 2024, has not taken a decision.

Out of this material, director Hernán Guerschuny and scriptwriter Sofia Whilhelmi have assembled a solid thriller (some facts and names have been changed or modified). The plot is carried forward at a steady pace, and information is often conveyed with deft touches: short scenes, single phrases or just looks show or suggest the inattention of the judge panel, the rush to convict and the scarce attention to obvious directions of investigation. A masterful short scene tells much about Nahir's relationship with a family member, and perhaps with the family itself. There is also a skillful use of flashbacks; sometimes they refer to the same facts seen (or declared) by different characters. The final twist is not forced and does not solve all doubts (a plus). The is some social comment (the irresponsibility of the press, gender discrimination) but without preaching. First rate acting and cinematography. A film to watch.
