Nueve reinas (2000)
Argentinian version of Mamet
All the comments equating this to Usual Suspects and Ocean's Eleven are interesting but off the mark. This is simply Mamet's "House of Games" set in Argentina. Worth a watch. Excellently produced on a low budget. Beilinsky has a very bright future. 8/10
My Beautiful Son (2001)
This movie has everything
This has everything. I mean EVERYTHING. A very good plot and storyline with a major, unforeseen twist, excellent acting, huge emotional attachment, a really fun and witty dialogue, educational, with excellent acting, good DP work with a backdrop of Liverpool and NYC, decent music and sound engineering. I LOVED this movie.
But for some reason, probably at the agreement of Granada (UK) and Showtime (US) it was never really pushed as a theatrical release (most likely poor marketing and publicity). The credits are done very cheaply and this suggests Showtime and Granada either a) ran out of money or b) didn't believe in it. Either way, a major shame.
This is a gem!
Just watch it and let yourself be emotionally moved in all directions.
