Before the vicious murder of her best friend, Camila, Delores lived a privileged life as a relatively well-off college student. But two years later, she’s about to stand trial for the crime, though she vehemently denies any involvement. The killing occurred at a wild drunken party, where the true details of what went down are forever blurred. The main evidence against Delores mostly revolves around a verbal fight the two had prior to the night of the gathering. Her family has exhausted every resource to get the best lawyer in town. Because of the constant media coverage the case has received, Delores can rarely leave the house—her every move is scrutinized, in the real world and online. When she does make public appearances, her parents and lawyers choose her clothing and what she’s allowed to say. Sure, they are trying to help her avoid prison, but it feels like she’s already locked up. Delores can’t take much more. With a brilliant lead performance and a heavy dose of suspense, THE ACCUSED is a well-crafted psychological mystery. (In Spanish with subtitles) —E.F.
