I saw 21 Grams this weekend, the new movie by Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu. I give it a reserved recommendation—the acting is phenomenal, the movie is very well made and the story is told in a puzzle like fashion that both challenges and engages the viewer (at least initially). However, I found the story overly long, eventually a bit slow and thought it could have benefited from being tighter. If you can appreciate a movie solely for good acting and filmmaking, it is worth seeing.
