Description

Beatriz (Salma Hayek), an immigrant from a poor town in Mexico, has drawn on her innate kindness to build a career as a spiritual health practitioner in Los Angeles. Doug Strutt (John Lithgow) is a cutthroat, self-satisfied billionaire real estate developer. When these two opposites meet at a dinner party, their worlds collide and neither will ever be the same.

    Feels like they fired the screenwriter before writing the finale. Pitty, there was a great build up.

    This movie is categorized as a comedy, the trailer was incredibly misleading. This movie was NOT a comedy, every scene that could possibly be comedic was in the trailer, and the remaining movie was an unbelievably depressing, dramatic film, and regardless of its quality of acting, or story, it should not be categorized as a comedy. Its a drama, without question.

    It’s such a good movie. It speaks on important topics. The writers and directors did a phenomenal job and omg don’t even get me started on the actors! The actors were amazing. I love all of them. This movie is art. And I’m so happy it exists. Anyone who hated is white and has guilt.
  • Senseless in many ways...Spoiler alert

    Great acting, esp from Hayek. But the ending is too hard to swallow. She does that leaving behind her dogs & other goat behind? Poor things. She’s being selfish. How is that really any better than Lithgows character?

    Left my friend and I with weird feelings afterwards. Not one of Selma's best films. Keep trying Selma! Xo

    This is not a comedy. It's very dark and upsetting. The ending doesn't make sense. Could not relate to the main character, or sympathize with her. By the middle of the movie I was just waiting for her to leave the house.
  • Wonderful Film

    I have no idea what people are talking about - this is one of the most well acted, ensemble, pieces that I have seen in a long time. The movie deals with major, relevant, social issues here that are eerily current. The "grossness" of some of the characters arc at a high while others are more in the "middle". And, all the while, it is completely grounded in the poignant, riveting, and honest performance by Salma Hayek. There is a certain "fantasy" to some of this film that is fresh and beautiful. It's a fantastic mixture completely brought together by the director Miguel Arteta. It is a very dark comedy and balances these subtle "funny" moments, which are brought into it's situational events and circumstance at dinner, with the consciousness of real world happenings. Wonderfully written and worth a second watch. Note: You must like great acting, good film, great writing, and appreciate existentialism. This is not "Dumb and Dumber".

    One of these movies where only the director knows what’s trying to be passed. Started off well enough then went downhill from there.
