Darín and Peretti’s Lo Dejamos Acá Debuts on Netflix

The Buenos Aires-set dark comedy thriller brings questions about therapists’ limits and responsibility to a global audience through a festival-to-streaming release.

Overview

  • Lo dejamos acá became available on Netflix on October 16, 2026 after premiering at the 74th San Sebastián Film Festival in late September.
  • Ricardo Darín plays Ulises Verón, a respected psychoanalyst who begins to overstep professional boundaries, and Diego Peretti plays Martín Bouchard, a celebrated writer blocked by his creativity.
  • Director Hernán Goldfrid and screenwriter Emanuel Diez shape the film as a black comedy with psychological-thriller tension that stages a confrontational ‘duel’ between the two leads.
  • Both actors framed the film as a conversation about professional responsibility: Darín said the film does not seek to discredit psychoanalysis and Peretti warned about therapists projecting their own problems onto patients.
  • By centering Buenos Aires’s strong public connection to psychoanalysis the film uses place as a narrative element and shows how local Argentine cinema can reach wider audiences through festival exposure and Netflix distribution.
