Biutiful


BIUTIFUL (2010) - Feb. 16, 2011
A haunting, gritty drama about a father of two who finds out he's dying, this was a well made film, but another disappointment from Alejandro González Iñárritu.  It was definitely solidly crafted, and Javier Bardem gives a pretty stunning performance in the lead role, but I was just never really sucked in like I was for Iñárritu's first couple of films.  It was never boring, but it wasn't even close to being on the same level as the electrifying Amores Perros.  ***
