Biutiful Reviewed by Rotten Tomatoes on infoMania

Brett Erlich and Ellen Fox review "Biutiful," the latest film from director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu ("Babel," "21 Grams"). It stars the always-charismatic Javier Bardem as a Barcelona slum-dweller who's dying of cancer while also trying to deal with his estranged, bipolar wife (an excellent Maricel Alvarez), his kids and his various criminal enterprises. See whether Brett and Ellen find the film profound, or just too darn depressing

10 rotten tomatoes for this review. Brett and Ellen, you really need to grow out of your bubbles. it is really embarrassing. Brett: 'the slums of Barcelona where people try to find beauty in their lives...' the movie is really not about that. Ellen: 'when a movie tries to teach me something rather than tell a story, I get turned off.' you shouldn't be in a critical profession then and from your uninformed comments it appears that you really need to be taught.

Wow, this is by far the worst movie review i've ever seen or read! "The whole town has a bad-hair day" - is that all she got from watching this piece of art?! What a stupid ignorant bitch!

So apparently when a movie decides to teach something new, whether it be about a country, it's culture, or even people's struggles, that's a bad thing? im so confused by that.

most of the cast of this film are not actors but Fellow Madrid inhabitants. they live this everyday.

i'm not sure if rotten tomatoes reads this comment section on youtube, but these two came off really ignorant. 'bad hair day', 'the slums...' these two depressed me with a moment of quasi cultural introspection of shame that one may have as only an american can have.

It's an incredible movie, and while it can be difficult to watch, it instantly became one of my all-time favorite movies. When I rent movies, I usually watch them and return. I had to watch Biutiful twice. It's like a modern-day version of Akira Kurosawa's "Ikiru," but set in Spain. I guess it's just not Ellen Fox's "thing," but anyone who decides to listen to her opinion is going to miss out on a great movie. Anyone who loves serious drama should at least rent it.

You don't like when a movie is trying to "teach you something"??? GEEZ this is why the whole world thinks the US is full of idiots.
