What’s Hot

  • Films with the south American flavour have something unique in them & this one ,from the stables of Alejandro González Ińárritu, the brilliant maker of Amores Perros and Babel is no exception!
  • The film’s jigsaw style presentation makes the watch a super experience.
  • The film’s story-line is only ordinary – but the fact that ‘what is right and what is wrong depends on the ‘when’ factor’ is emphasized wonderfully well.
  • Performances of Sean Penn, Del Toro and Naomi Watts are admirable. They show how well seasoned artistes can bring the director’s view point on screen!
  • The mellifluous musical score of maestro Gustava Santaolalla is a huge value addition to the film.

What’s Not

  • The film could be a tedious watch if one cannot get connected with the characters.
