"Amores Perros" is a bold, intensely emotional, and ambitious story of lives that collide in a Mexico City car crash. Inventively structured as a triptych of overlapping and intersecting narratives, "Amores Perros" explores the lives of disparate characters who are catapulted into unforeseen dramatic situations instigated by the seemingly inconsequential destiny of a dog named Cofi.

Critics Consensus

The brutality of Amores Perros may be difficult to watch at times, but this intense, gritty film packs a hard wallop.

The writer and director combine the gravity, narrative sweep and emotional pull of traditional literature with the dazzling visuals and pungent music of contemporary entertainment.

Solidly engaging, supersized 2000 Mexican drama.

4/5

…the three interconnected stories in Amores Perros move forwards and backwards in time from an event which isn’t entirely clear until the end of the film, a narrative sleight of hand which made this a must-see movie at the turn of the millennium.

4/5

Neo noir and melodrama collide in this transgressive tragedy of class, crime and family in Mexico City.

9/10

Swings for the rafters with mercurial tempos, ragged eruptions and a deracinated palette, as if the film stock had been dragged in dust. Fluorescence and a flat, featureless everyday light predominate. All is chaos, all is commonplace.

A truly griping film, strong in all departments, succeeds in creating credible characters linked with a powerful story line.

Most literally, a film about the journey of a man discovering the brutality of a dog-eat-dog world, told through the lives of many others. One of the most fiercely honest and savage films I have seen, with vivid performances, intense emotions, and a violent depiction of Mexico City which is crawling with helplessness and frustration. It is profoundly moral, mocking our society's understanding of humanity. It is a film that is gripping, thought provoking, and well worth the attention it has received. And of course, the star of the film, for me, is the dog, Coffee.

Gruesome truth said if full and loud. It's well evident that Alejandro González Iñárritu has replaced the king of surrealism Luis Bunuel out from the helm.

Una película tan bonita cuanto brutal. No se mucho del cinema Mejicano y la miré porque Iñarritu es uno de mis directores favoritos, y ya desde la primera película, esta, acierta y te engancha como pocos directores pueden hacer.

The Mexican standard had been set in stone, and this started it all! Brutal, stark, effective and carefully connected by the bad luck associated with Mans best friend.
