First off if you love the Twilight movies, Die Hard movies this movie is not for you (or 80% of american movie going public) this is a very serious movie for only astute/artistic movie goers. Most people who see this movie probably will hate this but if you have any appreciation for movie making in purest form (a la Kubrick, Scorcese, Fellini) you will appreciate the true beauty of Biutiful. Bardem shines like a dying supernova (no pun intended; and he will win best actor award no doubt), and this without a doubt is Inarritu's best film (will win best foreign movie film as well). This movie in all honesty most likely needs to be seen more than once to truly take in and you will not feel indifferent about this movie: you will either hate it or love it. No inbetween
