★★★½ review by Felipeasenjo on Letterboxd
Una película que perfectamente pudo haberse realizado desde el pedestal de la moral y argumento tenía de sobra, sin embargo Alejandro Fernandez Almendras apostó por trasladar el foco para así (tal como se muestra en sus dos trabajos anteriores "Huacho" y la grandiosa "Matar a Un Hombre") ilustrar aspectos de lo que significa vivir en la sociedad Chilena, haciendo partícipe y llevando a una reflexión al espectador. Es una película necesaria de ver, que lleva al debate y que presenta además una narrativa atípica en lo que a cine Chileno se trata, con una mirada crítica, sin tapujos pero a la vez sin caer en la caricaturización del personaje.

★★★½ review by Waldo on Letterboxd
Vicente is a wealthy kid. He goes out one night, smokes weed, snort some coke, makes out with girls, drinks like a fish, runs over a dude, then he goes home. The power of money plus daddy's little girls and boys morality play. Based on a true story. Check it on Netflix.

★★★★ review by Paul Hernandez on Letterboxd
Vicho, grábate ésto en la cabeza: la verdad no es la verdad; la verdad es la que se puede comprobar.

★★★½ review by Estácio Basso on Letterboxd
Filme chileno moderno, sobre um jovem acusado de assassinato.
É uma obra extremamente interessante e peculiar. Com belas fotografias, a câmera acompanha de perto a vida morna do protagonista fechando várias vezes em seu rosto inexpressivo.
Tá na Netflix.

★★★½ review by Jaime Grijalba on Letterboxd
Aquí no ha pasado nada (2016)
7/10
It looks spectacular, sounds quite good, has a really catchy soundtrack and it's edited in a tight manner. Nevertheless, there's a sense of urgency, that there's a weight of TRUTH (in big neon letters) under everything that is portrayed here, down to the time and date of the events that really happened and that they can't divulge because of legal issues. In a way, this film that says that it dares to say a lot of things that people wouldn't dare to, is at the same time the least punk exercise of cinematic liberty. It really is truth, no matter where these movies come from, the Based On True Events films have a lot to work through to be really exciting cinematic masterpieces.
