Joe Morgenstern Wall Street Journal The writer and director combine the gravity, narrative sweep and emotional pull of traditional literature with the dazzling visuals and pungent music of contemporary entertainment. Jul 15, 2023 Full Review Barbara Scharres Chicago Reader Solidly engaging, supersized 2000 Mexican drama. Feb 8, 2008 Full Review David Ansen Newsweek On screen, Gonzalez Inarritu's alarm registers loud and clear. Nov 1, 2007 Full Review Brian Susbielles InSession Film It’s an incredible piece of work that deserves to be seen again and again. Mar 2, 2023 Full Review Rosa Parra Latinx Lens It's mindboggling to realize this film is Inarritu's directorial debut. A well-constructed non-linear story that unfolds effectively highlighting social-political narratives. Rated: 4.5/5 May 22, 2021 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy A brutal but worthy motion picture. Rated: 3/4 Jan 16, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

David H This was a really interesting look at life in Mexico City. I enjoyed the film, although I thought it was a little too long at two and a half hours. It featured lots of interesting characters. I never could quite figure out who the bank robbers were and how they figured into everything else. And the dog whisperer character never really quite seemed to fit into the plot as nicely as I would have liked him to. I like the way the movie deals with time. It was interesting to start things off with the car crash and then revisit it halfway through, showing the events leading up to and following it from the perspectives of the various parties involved. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review Shioka O How you can make a film like this. So tense, brutal to watch it and heavily passionated. It has a fairly long run time--- a well-structured technically ambitious piece of work-- and gripping throughly but the middle part. Worth watching. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Georgan G This Mexican film fills the bill for every kind of love relationship. Despite the sub plots rarely overlapping, there is commonality. Love hurts, cheats, disappoints, and ends. But like the love of dogs, there is still much value therein. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/14/23 Full Review Outer Splatter G Spanish Pulp Fiction. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/08/23 Full Review Santiago B Como primera de Alejandro Iñarritu me parece excelente, la película basa la vida de los personajes en sus perros y los comportamientos o situaciones que viven los dueños también lo viven los perros. "Cada dueño se parece a su perro" Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/24/23 Full Review Lazarus Fantastic. A braid of three stories interwoven to create a captivating exploration of Mexico's people. My favourite Iñárritu movie. His first feature film and the first in his "death trilogy" preceding "21 grams" and the subsequent "Babel". Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
