Absolutely Brilliant!
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Definitely not suited for the masses. Only for arthouse movie fans this picture might be an interesting portrait of a clash between the have and the have nots, between the rich and the poor, at the dinner table.The story is about a bunch of rich, yet corrupt real estate investors who accidentally invite a poor masseuse, (Salma Hayek) who has fallen victim to the destructive effects of those very same real estate investments.What is special about this movie is the personal relations we all have with people that might be dear to us, but unknowningly have totally other worldly views, that are exactly opposite to our own and even endanger those precious values that we believe in. Promising start, but a rather vague and unsatisfying ending. The subject is only interesting for those who care about saving the world for future generations. The direction isnt that special that I would care to praise it. Neither is the photography or soundtrack. "Beatriz at Dinner" is only interesting because of its subject matter. If you are interested in holism and saving the world then this movie can be an interesting watch. Salma Hayek plays excellently by the way, in a role and as a character we havent seen of her before.
Found nothing funny at all in this movie. The rich white people are shallow and selfish and make their money by ruining the planet and the lives impacted by their so-called 'developments'.On the other hand, Beatriz is a highly relatable character bewildered by these people.
A very simple, very effective film. Hayek is fantastic, as is Lithgow. It's awkward, enthralling, beautifully paced. Set largely around a dinner party, it feels like it could be a play, with lots of substance and just the right amount of style. A real breath of fresh air.
Horrible movie, good artist, but a crazy story, very bad executed. There was no structure. We rented in the box as a comedy,. Do not waste your toile and money
