First off I'm argentinian, so this may be a little biased. You have been warned.
When I started watching this series I thought it would be the typical missing girl movie/series. I don't wanna spoil anything, but let's just say it's not what it may seem at first look...in a good way. You think you know what's happening and then it takes some very unexpected turns.
The story is ultimately not "shocking", but I think that's something good, it ads to its overall credibility.
Acting is decent. Dialogues are reasonably good and credible (as a lawyer I found some police lines kinda dumb, but that's unavoidable in a work of fiction) music is ok, photography is good.
I would recommend this. It's not one of the best series out there, but it's well above average, especially for Netflix standards.

There's really nothing remarkable about this movie, aside from it's length.
Don't get me wrong, it is not bad: It has good acting, decent plot and dialogue, and amazing photography and sound. It's just that it's not great.
It could have been half the length and still would have worked well and would have delivered the message. This is not to say that the movie 'feels too long' or gets boring, nothing of the sort. But its massive length adds nothing.
As for the story, it's not a "hard to watch" movie, it's not all suffering. It's something we have kinda seen before, tho. The immigrant looking for the American dream and suffering hardships along the way.
Is it worth watching? Probably yes. Will I watch it again? Absolutely no.

This movie is average at best. Yes, the animation is good (not great, just good). The tone is mature and sober. And that's about it.
The story is very, very shallow. It starts great, with what appears to be a complex mystery. Unfortunately, it develops to be something rather simple and uniteresting.
I don't know about you, but when I watch a "cyberpunk"/futuristic anime I expect my head to explode. Animes tend to have very intrincate and weird stories, they take risks that regular movies don't, and they can go to places and show things that regular movies can't. And that's why I was disappointed with this movie. I also felt misled by the rating and reviews.
Watch it if you want, but if you pass you won't miss much.
