Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. ... a tightly constructed thriller ...
2. The film's taciturn observer, played by Ricardo Darin (the strutting con man of Nine Queens), delivers perhaps the most inward performance of the year.
3. Bielinsky does a remarkable job of both revealing and withholding information, so that, even after 134 minutes, the film never drags.
4. In the end, the film's bigger challenge isn't its length, or its deliberate pace: It's that it's overly freighted with symbolism and meaning.
5. The Aura holds together as a dreamy variation on Reservoir Dogs' heist-gone-wrong fatalism and the know-thyself confrontations of David Mamet's Homicide.
6. ... this intricately plotted mystery ventures into darker psychological territory and never misses a step.
7. The heart-attack death last year of Fabiŕn Bielinsky ... makes the posthumous release of The Aura, his mysterious drama about an Argentinean epileptic taxidermist caught up in a vivid crime, that much more poignant.
8. The movie's mood is haunting, and its central image of a man able to shed his morality as easily as an old raincoat hints at a filmmaker who had deeper concerns than mere thrills.
9. Whereas Nine Queens was a movie of clockwork precision and blindsiding reversals, El Aura is more internalized and digressive but no less striking, in large part thanks to Darin's mesmerizing performance.
10. The Aura works as a thriller, but it's also a character study of a man with nothing to lose. Even at more than two hours, it never relaxes its grip.

What was the overall consensus about the movie?
The Aura is a highly original and cerebral thriller that maintains its suspense from start to finish.
