Dripping with cinematic style.
Challenges and provokes in unexpected ways.
Establishes [Inarritu] as a major cinematic force.
You won't soon forget the world that Gonzalez Inarritu creates.
Fascinating because of the way the story is told -- and because of the existential issues that it forces you to consider.
The performances, the way Inarritu deconstructs and reconstructs the narrative, the grainy, gritty feel and look, all lead to the rare sort of experience that only a truly great film can offer.
Thought-provoking film not for tweens/young teens.
A highly emotional, thought provoking drama that easily lives up to the hype, 21 Grams is a film that has all of its bases covered: script, acting and direction.
"21 Grams" commands a running discourse that runs as a constant thematic thread through all of humanity. The movie delivers life as a floating mysterious entity that we all share. It's very few films that achieve anything remotely close.
Une oeuvre d'une rare intensité dramatique qui n'a aucunement besoin de suivre un cheminement narratif classique pour susciter une vive réaction chez le spectateur
The structure simply doesn't let any of the characters build an arc of growth or despair.
The performances, by and large, outweigh the film's unnecessary metaphorical gunk.
Quel est le poids de l'amour, de la vengeance et de la culpabilité? À vous de le découvrir.
... a hurricane of melodrama and implausibly accelerating crises that seem orchestrated merely to turn up the intensity. ... At 125 minutes, [it] feels more like 240.
21 Grams thrashes wildly...exhorting us to feel something. Apart from the fleeting satisfaction of its structural parlor game, I felt little...save exhausted boredom.
