Letterboxd — Your life in film

A decent enough drama about North African immigrants, Spanish cops, a father and her drug-addicted daughter, bikes, elephant tusks, AIDS, the fallout of the Franco regime, child abuse... does this sound overstuffed to you? It's because this is a new example of the once-ubiquitous Hyperlink Cinema, and it turns out that today's social drama filmmakers are beginning to be inspired by 2005's Crash. God help us all.

Sheer lunacy. Pixar love walking the tight-rope of out-there concepts, ideas and characters and this is one their boldest, most heartwarming gambits.

Just now realized that Michelle Monaghan's role briefly flirts with becoming the "Ethan Hunt's possible replacement in the next movie" role that Jeremy Renner and Rebecca Ferguson* would fill in the next movies. But Cruise is still trucking, so no.

*Henry Cavill could have been this too if not for spoiler reasons.

Woo, Spring Break!

Good movie, great food, has Aaron Eckhart ever had a good haircut?

Great movie, I swear...

A good movie that doesn't know what it is and wants to be a Coen brothers movie so bad that it ends as a bad movie. Shame.

Una buena película que no sabe lo que es y quiere ser una película de los Coen tanto que termina como una mala película. Lástima.

Creo que ya me toca leer a Rosario.

Una lenta acumulación de humillaciones y gaslights tan mundanas que casi ocultan lo espantosas que en realidad son. Casi.

Orlando Bloom looks middle-aged now. We're fucked.

México es cabrón.

This was on TV last night. I hadn't seen it in like five years and I feel like every time I watch it there's one more dude who became famous since the last time I watched it. Last time it was Tom Hardy. This time it's Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who shows up a bit at the beginning before the action happens.

Any other movies like this?
