Community Reviews
The Night of the 12th captivates audiences with its intense portrayal of an unresolved crime, deeply exploring themes of systemic misogyny and the haunting effects of unresolved cases on investigators. Viewers appreciate the film's realism, strong performances, and its poignant handling of sensitive topics. However, the unresolved ending, while thematically fitting, leaves many feeling a mix of frustration and contemplation about the complexities of justice and gender dynamics.
👍 Strong performances and a thought-provoking exploration of systemic issues.
👎 Unresolved ending may leave some viewers unsatisfied.

On apprend que c'était une fille qui a eu beaucoup d'histoires amoureuses et de nombreux "bad boy" sont suspects. L'un a écrit une chanson dans laquelle il dit qu'il va la brûler, l'autre bat sa femme, un autre affirme avoir couché avec elle alors que Clara le trouvait répugnant... L'enquête est abandonnée, faute de preuves et reste irrésolue. C'est une histoire vrai.
