The Crimes That Bind

The Crimes That Bind (Crímenes de familia, 2020) is an Argentine dramatic thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Director Sebastián Schindel builds the story around Alicia, a middle-class woman who considers her family solid and her home safe — until her son is arrested for the violent assault of his ex-wife.

Cecilia Roth carries the film on her own. Alicia cannot accept the charge at face value, so she starts digging — and what she uncovers about the people closest to her is worse than the accusation itself. Schindel keeps the tone heavy and domestic rather than thriller-taut: this is a portrait of wilful blindness inside four walls, not a courtroom drama. Stream The Crimes That Bind (2020) on iFILM.
