I did tend to enjoy Crash more, but seeing as how this movie came before Crash, I believe you got to give it credit.
The dog scenes were quite graphic; and very realistic. Wonder how they kept PETA off their backs?

Those who liked Amores Perros so much that they put it in IMDB’s top 250 probably haven’t seen anything like it before. In the meantime, we have much better examples of the non-linear parallel storyline technique: Crash, Vantage Point etc.

Plus the second story of someone losing their dog in the floor is just silly.

Well made if unpleasant. There is something unlovable about the film, something acutely nasty.

It’s hard to say what the director wanted to get at. Something to do with “growing pains”, I think.

A very good movie, but uncomfortable to watch if you’re an animal lover.

It followed the: show an event; show different characters before during and after the event format, but did it exceptionally well.
