21 Grams (2003)
10/10
A magnificent gem of a film, which will leave you drained of emotion.
6 March 2004
This is one of the most profoundly honest, real and emotional movies I have ever seen. I feel all the characters deserved oscars for their performances. The problem, of course, is that the oscars don't cater for films of this caliber and style.

It doesn't have any typical film structure, such as tension build-up, which is subsequently released, or comic moments balancing out the sad parts. This movie is fully and trully based around the emotional beings of the main characters, and that's what you must expect, and judge it through. It is very hard on you if you allow yourself to be drawn in by it's haunting performances, I left the movie emotionally drained. It does not have a happy ending, and soundtrack only appears a few times.

This may not be the kind of movie you allways want to see, but if you're ready for it it will reward you with an unparalleled experience, and leave you thinking about it for a long time.
