What kind of watch this is
The crash is the hinge. Alejandro G. Iñárritu uses a single collision in Mexico City to split the film into three distinct lives, weaving them back together with a violence that feels inevitable. It runs 154 minutes, which is long enough to make you feel the weight of every choice. The tone is brutal and unflinching, stripping away any pretense of easy resolution. If you want a story where the ending doesn’t fix the beginning, but just breaks it further, this is it.
What the critics said
Critics did not merely like Amores Perros; they seemed to respect its refusal to soften a blow. Rotten Tomatoes reports a 93% approval rating as of November 2024, based on 122 reviews, with an average score of 8.40/10. The consensus notes the film "packs a hard wallop," a description that sounds less like a review and more like a bruise. Metacritic assigns it 83 out of 100 as of November 2025, which translates to universal acclaim in the language of aggregate scores. It is the kind of praise that sticks, even if the subject matter does not.
Awards
Amores Perros took 4 awards from 2 nominations. It won the BAFTA for Best Film Not in the English Language in 2002, along with the National Board of Review and London Film Critics Circle honors for director Alejandro González Iñárritu. It also took the Ariel for Best Picture in 2001. It lost the Oscar and Golden Globe to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which is how those things go.
