This is the Pure Movies review of Lion's Den (Leonera) directed by Pablo Trapero and starring Martina Gusman, Elli Medeiros, Rodrigo Santoro, Laura García, Tomás Plotinsky and Leonardo Sauma. With his fifth feature Argentinian director/writer Pablo Trapero offers an intelligent and unorthodox take on a well worn subject. Essentially a prison drama, Lion’s Den is a surprising and sincere film that won plaudits at last year’s Cannes, Toronto and London film festivals. Martina Gusman has rightly been singled out for her performance as Julia but a brilliant supporting cast make it feel like an ensemble effort.
