* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: By focusing almost entirely on Gregorio and León's relationship and torture, the movie misses on a more choral approach showing the motives and interpretations of other characters and how they reacted to the confirmation that the accussed were innocent. The suicides of Don Rufo and Isasa are told in the epilogue but not shown, even though both would make powerful images (Isasa died in his own home and his death was passed as a heart attack; Don Rufo [[FreakierThanFiction drowned himself in wine]]). Finally, the movie ends in 1926 but the legal proceedings continued until 1935, when all the surviving torturers [[TheBadGuyWins were found innocent]]. Taboada lived through the whole process and at one point met the exhonerated Gregorio and León in Madrid and got in a fight with them. [[KarmicDeath He met injustice soon after]] when he was executed during TheSpanishCivilWar.
