Movie Review

amores perros, by kam

February 7, 2004

It sure the hell is a dog eat dog world. I absolutely loved this well-written movie. As a girl that is typically drawn to all that is sad and compelling-this film spoke to me. Yes love is a bitch--yet there is something beautiful in it's inevitable, tragic decline. I give AmoresPerros two bloody thumbs up!
