A Netflix film based on a real-life murder rocks to the top of charts as impressed viewers gushed 'bravo to everyone involved!'
Spanish crime drama film A Widow's Game, directed by Carlos Sedes, hit the streaming service last month.
Netflix's synopsis reads: 'When a man is found dead, the investigation shatters his widow's perfect facade and exposes a hidden double life in this thriller based on real events.'
The movie is also based on the true story of the murder of Antionio Navaarro Cerdán, 6, back in 2017, leaving his nurse wife María Jesús Moreno Cantó, also known as Maje, behind - who was also having secret affairs behind his back.
And real life footage from the case is used in A Widow's Game.
Engineer Antionio was stabbed in a garage in the district of Patraix in Valencia.
A Widow's Game stars Ivana Baquero as Maje, Tristran Ulloa as Salva Rodrigo, Carmen Machi as Eva, Joel Sánchez as Daniel as Álex Gadea as Antonio.
They are joined by Pablo Molinero, Pepe Ocio, Ramón Ródenas, Amparo Fernández and Miquel Mars.
It was later revealed that Maje had joined forces with a janitor at her hospital called Salvador Rodrigo Lapiedra to carry out the crime - who she was having an affair with.
And many have rushed to IMDB to share their positive thoughts on the movie.
'The film offers a powerful true crime thriller that captivates you as we learn about the brutality of the events and the underlying story of its two main perpetrators.'
'The film is further enhanced by the excellent script and the decision to tell us from the perspective of its three protagonists, concluding with the unfolding of the events that saddened all of Spain in 2017.'
'A gripping true crime thriller.'
'A Widow's Game was a compelling watch. As a true-crime enthusiast, I appreciated its deep dive into a real Spanish murder case I knew nothing about.'
Many have rushed online to share their thoughts on the crime film - with one saying that it 'captivates you'
'The actress playing María (Ivana Baquero) delivered a strong performance, skillfully portraying a manipulative character who exploited men's weaknesses in relationships.'
'The film's overall story about manipulation in love was well-told.'
'Intrigued me from the start and by the end I was engrossed.'
'I am Spaniard so I have watched this one without subtitles, what is a plus. So, If you love Spanish series like "El cuerpo en llamas", A Widow's Game is for you. The movie is amazingly real as cruel the case it is.'
'First, the case is sad and at the same time makes you think about how cruel a woman can be.'
'Second, cast is superb. Great acting from Tristan Ulloa and Carmen Machi. Ivana Baquero is great too. Last, the settings and production are superb. Pretty close to reality.'
'Around 95% of the movie happened. Also the scenarios are real too.'
'So, overall an ugly crime, but a great movie. I mean, if you love true crime, this one is for you.'
While another fan wrote: 'Loved it - didn't know anything about the story - well done, bravo to everyone involved.'
Salvador and Maje were arrested in January 2018 and later both found guilty of murder in October 2020.
Maje received a 22 year sentence, while Salvador was given 17 years, and also had to pay €250,000 to Antionio's family.
She also gave birth to a baby in prison in 2023 after falling pregnant with an inmate's baby.
