    Has the feel of an instant classic, a melodrama with an exacting precision and a visceral, propulsive energy.

    Often thrilling, if overwhelmingly brutal, trio of interconnected short stories.

    Writer speaks from essential to embrace absurd. Never saw movie that perfect.

    A great movie that catches your attention for all the two-and-a-half hours that it's long. It captures the three sad stories in such a beautiful, melancholic, aesthetic way For me, all the blood and violence is part of that aestheticness. The movie seems to breathe the town, the atmosphere is conveyed great with, the people, upper class and lower. One of the best movies I've ever seen. Expand

    Easily the best film of 2001, and, as some critics have indicated, one of the finest films of all time. The performances, writing, direction, and choice of music are all flawless. It was sad to see this same filmmaker try to create a similar masterpiece with 21 Grams, and mostly fail. If you didn't like that film, still give this one a chance. It truly is amazing. Expand
