Yara (2021)
5/10
Dispensable in form, but honest on the subject.
19 April 2024
A teenage girl disappears and is found dead after being raped. The investigating prosecutor must confront the prevailing misogyny. The prosecutor is played by Isabella Ragonese. But the investigation also faces the challenge of finding clues. In an age before digital technology and centralized fingerprint files. As a result, finding a culprit from a clue takes a lot of time, a bit of luck and coincidence, persistence and patience.

False leads, an investigation spanning several years, for a detective film in which the investigation progresses in small steps, evolving towards false leads because of the urgent need to find a culprit, but also towards possible leads based on DNA testing and its widespread use. The scriptwriter is a screenwriting veteran: we can say that this is a good story, which captivates the viewer, who wonders whether the killer will be found. The form is that of a Netflix TV movie, in other words, without any ambition. Dispensable in form, but honest on the subject.
