(1 - 31) of 31 OFCS Rating: 90% Fresh Page   1   "A tightly edited, wildly energetic paean to the trauma of relationships, between people and between people and their dogs."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 3.5/4 "In a single film, director Alejandro González Iñárritu balances stories and moods as diverse as canine breeds."   Lawrence Journal-World   Dan Lybarger 3.5/4 "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."   Movie Boeuf   David N. Butterworth B+ "Iñárritu's characters are full of life and earthy flaws, and things that are too much for them to comprehend."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3.5/4 "Alejandro González Iñárritu's Amores Perros is one part Kieslowskian fable and one part hysterical telenovela."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez A "It has an underlying warmth that elevates it to greatness."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C+ "Almost entirely a surface phenomenon, fascinating to look at but pretty empty beneath a raucously mesmerizing exterior."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "This searing Mexican film depicts the toxicity of human betrayal."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "Amores Perros is more than just a strong debut; it's good, gritty filmmaking."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/4 "Six-degrees- of-separation has never felt so merciless and ironic"   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 8/10 "The biggest strength of Amores Perros is its display of humanity at its worst when it is driven by primal attachments."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 3/5 "In his eager passion to fill Amores Perros with explosive imagery, Iñarritu nearly drowns his audience in visual excess."   Filmcritic.com   Jeremiah Kipp 3.5/4 "The stories never come together in a way that really enlightens, but that's not to say the film is anything less than entertaining."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman "We end up completely fascinated with and at least partially caring about characters that otherwise would be decidedly less than sympathetic in any other situation."   Screen It!   Jim Judy B- " an impressive film debut"   Old School Reviews   John A. Nesbit ""Amores Perros" is truly the first great film to come out of Mexico"   Light Views   John Larsen "Amores would have been an amazing enough film, but learning it's Alejandro González Iñárritu's directorial debut is a little like getting the wind knocked out of you."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 4/4 "Amores Perros es una historia de amor sin mensajes moralistas o edificantes. Simplemente es una experiencia inolvidable "   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade A+ ""Amores Perros" is simply a great film."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 9.5/10 "Amores Perros es una cinta capaz de pegarnos intensamente en la mirada pero también en el espíritu."   Cinenganos   Luis Martinez 3/4 "Even with its flaws, it will be hard to find a film with as many complex characters inhabiting its world as this."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 3.5/4 "Inarritu and his cast are able to make the audience care for these deeply flawed characters and share their often intertwined feelings of pleasure and pain."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 4/5 "It is a raw, intermittently brilliant film that heralds a sort of renaissance in Mexican film."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 4.5/5 "A stunningly made film, raw and authentic, with the ability to get way under the skin."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 5/5 "Gonzalez Inarritu's sinfully enjoyable epic roars in on a wave of blood, gunshots and dog barks."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves "The production is first rate on all levels."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford B+ "An invigorating film, without a doubt."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 8/10 ""A compelling, savage breakthrough for Mexican cinema""   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 2/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito Read review   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Jonathan F.
