Reviews for Amores Perros
Top CriticA head-on hit -- and a tasty treat for lovers of Tarantino-style feasts of fine visual excess.

That rarest of features that shows a deep understanding of people, truly cinematic storytelling technique and brilliantly choreographed fight and chase scenes.

It is that rarest of features that shows a deep understanding of people, truly cinematic storytelling technique and brilliantly choreographed fight and chase scenes.

A strange range of humanity that, if nothing else, provides some much-needed alternatives to typical Mexican stereotypes.
03/30/01
A film with something to say and a remarkably adult understanding of human passion and the crazy places it leads us.

04/12/01
A harrowing portrait.
04/27/01
Seemingly uneven, Questionably overlong, Indisputably intriguing
11/16/03
You know you're in the hands of a gifted storyteller.
04/19/01
A harrowing, powerful and often disturbing movie about three seemingly unrelated stories that collide after one horrific car accident in Mexico City.
12/01/05
Always clever, and devastating in its depiction of human nature.
03/30/01
A tightly edited, wildly energetic paean to the trauma of relationships, between people and between people and their dogs.
05/08/01
In a single film, director Alejandro González Iñárritu balances stories and moods as diverse as canine breeds.
05/09/01
A truly stunning film, both horrible and beautiful.
03/30/01
Just keeps coming at you, switching characters, tones, and rhythms to keep you off-guard.
04/16/01
First-time director Alejandro González Iñárritu has taken an original story and fashioned it into a tale that is gritty, multifaceted, and brimming with edgy performances.
11/16/01
Divided into three chapters, pic is cunningly constructed and, until near the end, briskly paced.
