"Yara" is a Drama - Thriller movie in which we follow the true story of a mysterious missing 13-year-old. This case was investigated by a prosecutor who did not lose her faith and tried very hard to solve the mystery behind it.

I liked this movie very much because it was based on a real case, it had an interesting plot that contained plenty of suspense and mystery, something that made it even more interesting. The direction which was made by Marco Tullio Giordana was very good and he did an excellent job on the way he presented the plot behind the missing person along with the key characters of the movie. The interpretations of Isabella Ragonese who played as Letizia Ruggeri, Thomas Trabacchi who played as Maresciallo Garro and Miro Landoni who played as Cancelliere Edoardo Carlini were very good. In conclusion, I have to say that "Yara" is an interesting thriller movie and I recommend you to watch it because I am sure that will leave you speechless.

Kids gone missing - there probably is nothing a lot worse for parents. And it doesn't happen that often that one finds a determined police individual that really wants to solve or rather find the kid. I am not saying that others do not care - but the determination in this case (no pun intended) is quite astonishing.

I did not know the real case this is based on, but the movie does a good job taking us through what happened, step by step. Very well played and edited together. It probably will touch you one way or the other.

Isabella Ragonese shines in this investigation based on a real-live event: no cliché , no filler ,no hint at her private life, no unnecessary scene (the brief moment when she thinks she's lost her own daughter could not have been more human).

A determined woman , but not the usual smug cocky hero/heroine one meets in so many thrillers ,a human being with her doubts and her moments of discouragement ; putting her career on stake, even when everybody is against her .The parents,too,give a restrained performance,full of dignity , always trusting her and never overplaying,no facile tear-jerking scene. But the mother's look,at the end of the trial ,is revealing.

In spite of a horrible tragedy (the viewer knows from the start the fatal issue and the martyr the victim endured) , this is a gripping ,absorbing investigation ,involving the simplest methods (the diary of the teenager) and the more complex ones (DNA ); another strong point is that even in real life ,there are red herrings: a mistranslation can ruin an innocent's life.
