Biutiful, directed by Alejandro Gonzalés Iñárritu, has definitely been one of the best films I've seen lately. I always have these vague adjectives to describe films but this was truly amazing. For some reason I used to think this was a film concentrating on romance but I was quite wrong. Instead this is a complex piece containing multiple stories that all affect each other from such categories as family, relationships, immigrant struggles and working class. I'm not planning on writing a review here but I'm just trying to convince you to take a look at this one.
The film is quite long, two and a half hours, but it's worth it because it's one of those you don't really want to end. Javier Bardem does an excellent job, as usually, but so do the other actors. It's a Mexico/ Spain production and I guess that has a lot to do with the fact that this drama film is indeed convincing and let's one get close to the characters. Bla Bla Bla... I do recommend this to be on your watchlist.
Biutiful was nominated last year for Best Foreign Film Academy Award and Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role. It was nominated for BAFTA and for Palme d'Or at Cannes. Those are just some of the nominations the film received. I know awards aren't all in all but I guess some of them give an idea of what kind of feature film we're discussing here. So take a look and enjoy.

Seems a nice movie.
With all the twist and turns,
it turns out to be something strange.
tyre equipment > Thanks for your comment and I agree with you. Obviously, haha. But considering how many "conventional" Hollywood productions there are, which, more or less, follow the classical style, films like Biutiful bring a nice change. Also, in my opinion these kind of films are better. So, I hope you enjoy it!
