Review of Yara

Yara (2021)
7/10
It's a true and sad story but there is one big problem with it as a movie
11 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The movie is ok. It follows the investigation of the kidnapping and murder of 13 y/o Yara Gambirasio.

The acting is good and so is everything else. The problem here is that even though a man was charged and prosecuted for these crimes, he never confessed nor did the police could figure out his motives and the exact chain of events so basically the viewer is left with a lot of unanswered questions.

In the end you can only be sorry for her and her family and wonder why the hell there's no DNA database in Italy? Are they crazy??? There's a real reason to create a DNA database and that's to find criminals and stop them before they commit another crime. The idea that every prosecutor needs to create its own database for each individual case is insane. They might have done it in this case but not every case gets the same amount of attention and funding so without a real DNA database the end result will be that a lot of crimes will be unsolved and a lot of criminals will get away.

It's 2021 so all I have to say is: wake up, Italy!
