    INCREDIBLE!! Best Argentinian movie.

    For a film based on historical facts and not on a big budget, it's very well done. The cast is incredible and they were lucky enough to have the best actors in Argentina. The VFX, music, cinematography and plot are very well done.

    My tens and I hope it wins Best Foreign Film at the Oscars 2020.

    This is what argentine film industry should do more

    A film for the masses, that's what i'm talking about. It's not just contenting the critics but the people. And this movie is a great example: great critic reviews and a great acceptance by the public. Don't lose the opportunity to watch it at the big screen, it's worth it.

    So good!! AMAZING ACTORS!!

    Such a good movie!!! The only problem is you will lose many jokes if you are not Argentinian. As an Argentinian, is a MUST! If you are not Argentinian, still watch it! But take in mind that you might not laugh on the parts where we die laughing!

    Outstanding Argentinian movie.

    La odisea de los giles is an outstanding comedy set in one of the most turbulent times of the Argentinian History.

    It's imposible not to feel empathy with the characters, as they struggle with their lives, projects and the financial situation of Argentina in the early 2000.

    The characters are a mix of Argentinian stereotypes, but all of them are really well devolved, fresh, funny, and stereotyped not in an excessive way.

    Ricardo Darin takes the place of a dreamer man in the beginning and then as a grieving man, this change is superb and this could be one of his best roles in his career.

    The best Argentinian movie of the year!

    Based on the 2001 crisis, the movie present us a group of very different people with one objective in common: revengeance, not revenge: revengeance against the manager of a bank who stole their savings. The film is a travel with those tender characters and their suffering and desire of revengeance. 9/10

    • Trivia
      Official submission of Argentina for the 'Best International Feature Film' category of the 92nd Academy Awards in 2020.
    • Goofs
      Daniel Aráoz's character (Belaúnde) is a railway worker, so many scenes show the Alsina train station. The tracks have concrete sleepers, which weren't installed until the late 2010's. Since the film is set in 2001, the tracks would have had wooden sleepers.
