Review of Biutiful (2010) by Andrea B — 28 May 2011
Biutiful.
Not so Biutiful.
A incomprehensible and disturbing movie that personally didn't get my attention or effect me in anyway. Besides the acting, and the soundtrack this movie in my opinion becomes complicated to a point where its almost pointless.
The story revolves around Uxbal, a father who struggles to maintain dignity. From working on the underground, Uxbal seeks redemption and becomes a tragic hero.
The Acting is extraordinary, Bardem does a wonderful job every second he is on screen. His performance is mindblowing and really touches everyone in the audience. The soundtrack and the silent scenes are by far the best thing this movie has to offer, the silent scenes are powerful and truly worth it.
However, everything else a movie needs, this movie lacks. The plot is almost boring and to some extent repetitive, making the movie seem unending. The everlasting tragedy becomes cocky and therefore makes this a really boring movie.
Overall a boring movie with a powerful perfomance, yet I had a hard time understanding it and therefore it kinda...sucked.
Uxbal: Look in my eyes. Look at my face. Remember me, please. Don't forget me, Ana. Don't forget me, my love, please.
