Not bad movie ,but a little boring.

Billed as a dark comedy. The ending was a joke, so I guess that qualified this movie as a comedy.

It's a great movie with exceptional acting. Regarding the ending, I wished the lanterns had burnt their beautiful houses, and Beatriz had saved the earth, but that would be fantasy. The ending is left for each one of us to interpret. In my version of the ending, Earth, selfishness, and empathy represented by Beatriz, perished while men like Doug Strutt and his minions burned the earth with their lanterns of selfish pleasures.

What a lazy, half-hearted, uninspired copout of an ending.

The ending leaves a lot to be desired but Hayek's low key performance is great.

As subtle as a sledgehammer and just as much fun to be around. I don't think my family will ever forgive me for choosing this one.

Kohutav. Embarrasing drivel.

FIRST: This is NOT, repeat NOT a gosh darn comedy. Direc온라인카지노추천 and some internet listings have it as a Comedy, as if a movie about woman who tries to heal others giving up on the world and committing suicide rather than dealing with the cancers (of cells and of awful human beings) can be called a comedy. It's a well made made well acted DRAMA, and suitable if you want to open a discussion about greed, human failings, and the trouble with being an empathetic beings living in this reality.

Overrated, cliched social commentary that seems too long even with a running time of 82 minutes.

A more interesting film than a great one I think. It's an allegory, so it's pretty heavy handed as most allegories are. This movie is one that prompts conversation more than your average one so I found it interesting reading reviews of Beatriz at Dinner after watching and how mixed people are on it. Some people even calling Beatriz holier than thou or a narcissist just like Doug Strutt (Lithgow) and I don't understand. But in a world where people can simultaneously deify the Elon Musks of the world and vilify minorities fighting for rights, I guess I shouldn't be shocked. I found it to be a very insightful look into a few things - high sensitive people, power dynamics, and the desire for simplicity. What Hayek's Beatriz makes perfectly clear in comparison to these rich folks is that there will never be enough for these types of wealthy people. Kill, figuratively or literally, what is your path to more excess. I think Hayek specifically does a great job of embodying the feeling that if you speak to that power, you will sadly and inevitably be overwhelmed and have to retreat to smaller and smaller corners of what hasn't been taken by someone in power. "All tears flow from the same source" may be a line taken the wrong way by people who don't live their every day lives subjected to power dynamics, but to some it is very real. Interesting movie.

This is a film about the haves and have nots, feeling out of place socially perhaps and while it's rather mundane seeming to start with, indeed, for the most part, the end I felt had quite a strong and powerful feeling to it. I thought both Salma Hayek and John Lithgow gave decent performances and I'd say its certainly somewhat thought-provoking - more in terms of being a piece of social commentary than anything else. It's not necessarily the most entertaining film around and the comedy is very much dark/black - this isn't a film to watch if you want easy, obvious laughs. I'm not sure I'd say its funny as such at all necessarily - its more a sobering, somewhat thoughtful watch. On the downside, it is perhaps a little predictable but I still felt that it was worth seeing nevertheless. I would cautiously recommend this film, yes.

Idealistic premise falls flat, and falls awkwardly too. Something has gone terribly wrong in the film-making when John Lithgow’s toxic, greedy, selfish, obnoxious, overbearing character is somehow still more interesting and relatable than Salma Hayek’s holier-than-thou pobrecita. Ugh.

We really need to think what is this movie about. Is not a great performance from Salma, is an steatement about ideals that we should stand for that must of the time we really guess that money and wealthyness are covering up. ¡Great movie!

It is admittedly fun watching Hayek's and Lithgow's characters clash but what on earth is the story here? I'm quite lost for words, and not in a good way.

The time that the movie came out could not have come at a better time. The topics touched on this movie are divisive but the performances of each one on this film, make this such a delightful movie to watch. This is Salma's best performance and one that was overlooked by the academy and one that shows that the Oscar winners are not always the best but the ones who campaigned the most.

Great acting and wonderfully portrays how impotent most feel surrounded by corporate corruption

Not a bad movie but didn’t draw me in much and didn’t see to have much to offer 2.0 . Acting was all fine tho

Worst Movie ever. So liberal and political. So bad.

Painful and unentertaining.

Slow. Boring. John Lithgow saved the movie for the little it had to offer. It ends with an ending that is the opposite of rewarding. This seems like a propaganda movie that forgot what a climax was.
