Review: Biutiful

Seen 6/13/15

3.5/4

I didn't quite grasp this film. It was split up, interrupted, and ultimately disserviced by not receiving its due attention. It was frustrating to me, because I knew that I was watching something of great quality. By the end, I felt the power and beauty of this film, but another viewing this summer should yield an appreciation throughout its duration. I know that it holds the potential to earn the kind of love that I only give to films, and only to select ones. I look forward to next time, which should be a fully powerful and meaningful experience. I also look forward to exploring in its entirety the work of Alejandro González Iñárritu, which after Biutiful and Birdman I view to be one of the most important ventures in film for me.
