Over-praised. A contrived and heavy-handed soap opera with an over-reliance on cheap sentiment. And, in spite of what passes for "grittiness", as the film progresses it strays farther and farther from any kind of realism, betraying a falseness that lies at its core. Whatever meagre cleverness is required to interweave a few stories, the result lacks genuine significance, coming across as little more than a calling card to Hollywood who, in their wisdom, did in fact come calling.

The first part of Iñárritus Life sucks-trilogy is also the best one. However it is not the masterpiece everyone says. The film is a long journey through a lot of sad stories. I do not mind tragic tales. But if you do not include some sort of contrasting emotions, the sad parts do not engage. And by the way the connection between the stories is nothing but a gimmick. Just like in Babel it is just a plot tool to combine the different parts.

This movie does not fuck around. Except for that part where the dog is trapped under the apartment floor; it fucked around for a while there. But then it paid that part off well and stopped fucking around again. The movie is brilliantly directed and written, and harsh as hell. I was reminded of Los olvidados at times, even though they're very different films in many respects.

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's beautiful and emotional tale of intertwinable stories on the hard streets of Mexico City is one of the most powerful films of the 00's.

Depressing in a good way, if that makes sense.

None of the three tales is very engaging, and none gains much by their merger -- besides bulk. (Two and a half hours' worth.) But you can see why the filmmaker has been likened to Tarantino: a less daunting benchmark than, say, Faulkner.

Raw, brutal storytelling at its best. Innaritu's first, and arguably best film.

Slightly labourious to get through at first, but that pays off more as the movie goes on.

One of my favourite films ever. Brilliantly shot, it gives you a perfect picture of Mexico City. Features awesome and moving performances by everyone involved. Inarritus masterpiece.

An intensely emotional tale of three different groups of people interwoven through the story of their dogs and their tragic lives. Excellently crafted and brilliantly acted, it's a wonderful treat in every respect.

Great film.
Unique(*) with one amzing story. Told in a not-liniar way , wich was perfect for the movie. You easily can see the refering to Tarantino ( espacially openingscene ).
Sometimes dark and emotional.
(*)To bad he used the same format in his other films after this one

Highly overrated. Though the film starts off at an excellent pace, the length eventually begins to bog down on the audience. Too many scenes are far too drawn out, and the second two narratives seem superfluously tacked on to the dog-fighting story. Though there are some amazing scenes and the acting is all around top-notch, there is something poignantly hollow about this cinematic exercise.

Brutal, brutal pessimistic film. Not something you want to watch when you're already having a bad day.

Very strong story dedicated to dogs and their owners. They said in the movie that the dogs and their owners start to look each other. And that happens in the movie. Episodes slide nicley together, but the strongest is the first one. The second one is pretty easy, but the last wraps up the whole movie nicely though the very end could be better done. I liked a lot small details which set the timing for each episode.

What a great debut. Inarritu has seems to keep retreading the structure, but it works really well here, and all 3 stories are equally painful and melancholy. The incident that ties the three together is shocking each time it's shown. Not for big fans of dogs, but I'd recommend it to anyone else.

In the second story, when the magazine editor said he couldn't afford to redo the floor if he smashed it up to look for his girlfriend's dog, why didn't the model, who was clearly very successful, offer to pay to redo the floor, if she cared so much about finding the dog, which was, after all, her dog?

Amores Perros was the First Movie I watched by Inarritu which deeply moved me.Sometimes shocking sometimes just beautiful.Hard to put in one Genre, but that doesn't matter at all. It is a great Movie !

Just a sickening, disheartening film that hits you over the head with contradictory and obvious messages about "mankind" and how connected we are to each other. A real awful piece of shit.

LOOK AT HOW CREATIVE AND DEPRESSING I AM! But really, it's hard to like a movie when half the characters are borderline retarded and none of the plots are actually tied together that great. Pulp Fiction of Mexico? Fuck that.

epic in scope. may not be the most cohesive of plots, and there are missteps here and there when it comes to pacing, but inarritu has an audacious vision for this film and it really shines through.

first of a trilogy followed by 21 Grams and Babel by the same director. very good movie indeed.
I just read about the name which is translated into something like: to love's a bitch.
اما در فارسي اسمش به عشق سگي ترجمه شده است.

'Amores Perros' tells three different stories, all superficially connected by a car accident. However, they are all also connected on a more substantial level through their themes of violence and loyalty (a theme visually conveyed through the prominence of dogs throughout the picture.) The end result is a powerful and impressive first outing by director Inarritu.
