The Secret in Their Eyes (2009). In a word, this movie was sublime. Tragic, moving, believable, comedic, sentimental, and flawless, this flick transcends the viewer into that special place, into the very essence of the characters, blessed with all of their faults, and treats each ticket-holder to the cinematic ride of a lifetime. Every aspect of this film shines, with stellar acting, superb direction and storytelling, colorful characters, competent use of the timeline, and awesome camera work. The soccer scene is one that will elicit the desire to be replayed in order to better comprehend its brilliance. With a tragic though satisfying denouement, this flick stays true to it heart throughout, owning the word passion from the get-go. Merci beaucoup.
