It feels like someone took a shovel and dug out my insides. And I know there's nothing in there, but I'm still too nervous to check. I know there's something wrong with me. My parents know it too, even if they don't say anything.

I absolutely adored this tough but beautiful movie.

The soundtrack is incredible. Every song feels real and goes along with the film perfectly. Plus, they're amazing on their own, the first one that comes to mind…

Are you watching closely?

This movie really surprised me and I loved it.

First of all, the soundtrack was pretty good, nothing out of this world, but tense.
The acting was incredibly well done, some of Hugh Jackman's bests, Christian Bale is as talented as always, and it had some other great ones like Michael Cane's and Scarlet Johansson's performances.
The cinematography is great (it's pretty much a guarantee from Nolan).

But the best part about this movie was its…

I really liked this movie and I think it's severely underrated.

First of all the acting was immaculate. Top notch performances all around for example with Brad Pitt (as he delivered, not the best but one of the best performances of his career), Rinko Kikuchi, Mustapha Rachidi, Gael Garcia Bernal, Cate Blanchett, etc.

This movie is very experimental and on the technical level is spectacular, but on every other aspect it doesn't really work for me.

First of all the score doesn't really do it for me. Sure, the sound design is fine and the piano scene is fun but other than that is pretty lacking.

Then, the performances were the most bland thing I've ever seen. I swear no one had a single expression, not even in the goddamn school shooting.

21 Grams
★★★★½ Liked Watched

I had low expectations for this movie, but when I finished it, I was very surprised about how good it was.

First of all the score is pretty good, nothing special, it's used accordingly with the film and it enhances some scenes.

Then, the cinematography is amazing, it's no masterpiece like Amores Perros but I still liked it very much. The framing is pretty good, iconic but nothing spectacular. The use of color is interesting and well done. But the…

Amores Perros

I usually do my reviews in English, but because this is a Mexican movie, I am Mexican and I know Spanish, I'm going to do this one in Spanish and then translate it so that anyone understands.

Spanish:
Me fascinó está película y sin duda creo que es una obra maestra.

Primero que nada, las actuaciones son espectaculares. Siento que tanto Emilio Echavarría como Gabriel García Bernal actuaron increíblemente, y esto sin contar las también muy buenas actuaciones de actrices…
