Review of The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005) by Lawrence Toppman for Charlotte Observer — 16 Apr 2007
Writer Guillermo Arriaga earns most of the blame. He played similar games with narrative in the vastly better "Amores Perros" and "21 Grams," jumping back and forth in time to show relationships among subplots and characters.
But "Burials" barely has one plot.
