Reviews for Amores Perros
Recalling Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction - but edgier than both - this is a hell of a first film. For all its bonecrunching savagery, it's also a fundamentally moral work.
02/09/06
A potent reminder that life is brutal and brief, and that bonds between people are much easier to sever than to tie.
03/30/01
Six-degrees- of-separation has never felt so merciless and ironic
04/03/01
Amores Perros es una historia de amor sin mensajes moralistas o edificantes. Simplemente es una experiencia inolvidable
03/14/01
An invigorating film, without a doubt.
04/19/01
Amores Perros is more than just a strong debut; it's good, gritty filmmaking.
04/13/01
Top CriticInventively restless and relentlessly potent.
04/23/01
This searing Mexican film depicts the toxicity of human betrayal.
03/30/01
First-time director Alejandro González Iñárritu has taken an original story and fashioned it into a tale that is gritty, multifaceted, and brimming with edgy performances.
11/16/01
The raw, propulsive vigor of Inarritu's dances of death on the streets of Mexico City mark him as a director who's suddenly very much on the cinematic map.
04/13/01
Top CriticThe biggest strength of Amores Perros is its display of humanity at its worst when it is driven by primal attachments.
07/12/02
Compels almost effortlessly, and skilfully conceals its thefts (from Tarantino, mostly), easy ironies, and insubstantiality.
05/07/01
Iñarritu keeps us involved in at-times tune-outable material.
03/30/01
Top CriticDirected with energy and ferocity by eye-opening newcomer Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu.
07/02/02
"Amores Perros" is simply a great film.
05/23/01
The production is first rate on all levels.
05/29/01
A stunningly made film, raw and authentic, with the ability to get way under the skin.
12/10/01
It's good and good-looking and features one of the best soundtracks in years ... but it's also slick and schematic, weak on feeling and overly indebted to Tarantino.
