Review of The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005) by Michael Atkinson for Village Voice — 31 Aug 2009
Arriaga's script (a prize at Cannes) has a lovely, fascinating shape to it, even if his crushing portrayal of white Americans--all of them, even Jones, suffering from a zombified affect and crippling shortsightedness--is somewhat counterset against his Mexicans, who are all morally balanced, if not always happy or nice.
