Excellent film with a unique atmosphere of mystery and suspense centered on a murder that challenges a law professor to prove the guilt of what he considers a suspect. The acting of Ricardo Darin is awesome. Interesting, intelligent, focused on the role of justice and the ethics of laws, made by power for power (reminds me of something from Marx) but questions whether the truth is also the truth. A game of cat and mouse between a smart law professor with instincts and a law student with intelligence and challenge, on the subject of "crime". The showdown and the embroidery dialogues. The end !!.... and the journey are worth it.

We spectators as voyeurs watch just another day in the life of these elder people trying to come together with their long suffering traumas caused by their upbringing and the right and wrongs that did in their life. Its something that one can reciprocate in most cultures of the world and most of us at some stage will identify with the different personalities presented in the film. Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin carry out their roles convincingly while Malcom Mcdowell role is not a demanding one and very easily can be carried by many actors of his age. Overall if you just like to devote 85 minutes of your time in watching what is happening on an average funeral get together all over the wold please do.
