Gonzalo O @RT96011007 Apr 1 Me parece una película fundamental para entender una parte de la historia de la lucha del feminismo en Argentina y el mundo . La recomendó la escritora de la Criada. See more Christian M @chriss17eu Mar 4 Unjust, terrifying, and compelling at times, 'Belén' grabs attention in its first half hour with a deeply intimate drama that channels psychological horror without supernatural elements. Its treatment of abortion and its personal, legal, and public consequences feels like horror born from systemic injustice, a growing tension that permeates every scene. The performances are solid but not memorable, the characters more cogs than individuals. What strikes is the portrayal of a system generating frustration and helplessness, creating moral outrage beyond politics. Dolores Fonzi directs with a sure hand, establishing a rhythm of anticipation and anxiety, though the film slows after the first half hour. 'Belén' is intense, uncomfortable, and necessary—a brave, human story that invites reflection, despite its flaws.

I think the movie grabbed me quickly in the beginning, and I felt invested to learn more about what would happen. I do think it feels a bit rushed in some places and could have gotten away with being even longer. Still, the acting is good, and the story is one that I feel people should know about, regardless of where you live in the world. Overall, it is a good movie that shines a light on important topics, and I can see why Argentina has chosen to submit it for this award season.

See more Alejandro E @Alex970 Nov 21 Tomando como referencia un caso real, lo más inteligente fue darle seguimiento sin simpatizar en algún sentido con un tema delicado como el aborto. Del cine sudamericano, lo más destacado del año. See more Read all reviews
