the

Del Toro.
Formally brilliant, 21 Grams is for those who love cinema and don't mind
taking a few body blows."

brilliant self."

ATTITUDE, DAMON SMITH - 5 STARS (FILM OF
THE MONTH)
''A genuinely thrilling emotional experience - often unbearably tense,
occasionally heartbreakingly sad, ultimately uplifting but always, always
riveting... Iñárrito and his collaborators have created
something
astonishing, and your cinema-going year will be incomplete if you miss
it...
Superb... 21 Grams strives for greatness, and that's precisely what it
achieves.''
EMPIRE, ROB FRASER - 5 STARS
''21 Grams positively
reeks of Oscar night glory, but for all the right
reasons... beautifully composed...
the film's power and grace will stay with you... this bittersweet symphony
does not disappoint.''
UNCUT, STEPHAN DALTON - 4 STARS
"Demonstrates the boundless possibilities of cinema... magnificent...
hugely rewarding cinema."
