Writer/director Pablo Trapero crafts this tender tale of an incarcerated woman who gives birth to a baby boy and struggles to raise her son behind bars as she comes to the bleak realization that he is the only one who matters to her anymore. It all started when a pregnant Julia woke up in her apartment flanked by the bloodied bodies of her former lovers Nahuel and Romiro. Subsequently sent to a prison for mothers and pregnant convicts, Julia railed against the system by withdrawing into her own world. Upon giving birth, Julia realizes just how difficult it could be to raise a son in prison, but each day her feelings for the boy swell stronger within her. Later, when Julia pays a visit to Romiro in the men's prison, it becomes obvious that the couple's feelings for one another are just as muddled as the events of that fateful night back in Julia's apartment. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

New Review For Movie Leonera (Lion's Den)
The results are mixed -- a handful of moments of genuine, undeniable power, interspersed with a fair number of listless scenes.Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle
The dimly lit, exquisitely composed cinematography, by Guillermo Nieto, adds to the draw of this highly recommended movie.
V.A. Musetto-New York Post
Although it is not a comedy, Lion's Den is suffused with sense of life lived in the present. Even the grimmest moments are not exploited to instill fear and loathing.
Stephen Holden-New York Times
Part meticulous character study, part hyperrealist drama...
Dave Calhoun-Time Out
A portrait of a subculture whose members take pride in walking their kids to the penitentiary's pre-K class.
David Fear-Time Out New York
Once the film devolves into a drag-down fight for custody with Julia's mother, only Gusman's nuance saves us from a script that seems geared more toward screeching overacting.
Aaron Hillis-Village Voice
Riveting, harrowing and thoroughly infused with hope and love, this prison drama is so realistic that it's often difficult to watch
Rich Cline-Shadows on the Wall
Frustratingly, the film tells us little about the crime itself and the denouement is a little unconvincing. The taste of sweat and fear is, however, real enough.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]
Real inmates are extras, real cells provide the scenery: it has the desperate vitality of something barely made-up.
Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph
Less than the sum of its parts? Yes. Nice parts? Yes.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times
Lion's Den is an unqualified success.
Jason Wood-Little White Lies
How do you raise a child in prison? Argentinian director Pablo Trapero tackles that question with affecting skill in this initially squalid yet ultimately uplifting social drama.
Alan Jones-Radio Times
No melodrama, no thriller twists, just Trapero's camera sticking to his lead actress like sweat.
Kate Stables-Total Film
[Features] a strong central performance and convincing depiction of the compartmentalisation of Argentina's women.
David Parkinson-Empire Magazine
When it hits, the emotional intensity is ratcheted up, sometimes to overly showy levels, before ending relatively quietly with an escape attempt that, depending on one's view, is either gratifying or tragic.
Stan Hall-Oregonian
A thoroughly captivating and engrossing drama with a raw, unforgettable performance by Martina Gusman.
Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru
The film's only value may be to make foreign viewers aware, at the very simplest level, of the unique practices of the Argentinean penal system.
Andrew Schenker-Slant Magazine

Joseph Proimakis-Movies for the Masses
The edgy, powerful performance of Martina Gusman (also director Pablo Trapero's wife and producer) as a pregnant woman accused of murder, elevates this Cannes Fest Argentinean entry above the trappings of the women behind bars genre.
Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com
Por mais que tenha admirado a performance de Sandra Corveloni em Linha de Passe, não sei como Gusman pode ter saído de Cannes sem o prêmio de atuação na bagagem.
