	Filmtracks: 21 Grams (Gustavo Santaolalla)
		Such is the case once again with 21 Grams in 2003, a film that tells the doomed tale of torment and salvation through the lives of three people connected by a single traffic accident.

		The dulling effect of the score for 21 Grams is extraordinary, and if a film was ever to require a piece of music that could squash your senses and make you feel as though you're either hung over or have been punched in the head, then this music is your ticket to success.

	calendarlive.com: MOVIE REVIEW - '21 Grams'
		In "21 Grams," a brutal and brutalizing new film from Mexican director Alejandro González Iñárritu, fate is a noose that slips over the necks of the guilty and innocent alike.
		We modern moviegoers have become so addicted to linear narratives, with their predictable and clearly delineated three acts, that the patchwork structure of "21 Grams" might well be misread as a gimmick.
		Even when "21 Grams" nearly drowns in tears — and there are two grievously false-note scenes, both with Watts and Penn — Iñárritu's work with his actors redeems him.

		The difference, other than the fact that 21 Grams is an English-language film, is that now the characters are not merely connected by the accident as they were in Amores Perros.
		In 21 Grams, Arriaga and Iñárritu interweave the different strands of their story (the three lives) out of sequence, in a spiral around the story's lynchpin, the automobile accident.

	21 Grams
		To its great detriment, 21 Grams has no sense of humour: Iñárritu seeks to depress you with his English-language sophomore effort by weaving a tapestry of dejection and sorrow, but unless the sun breaks through the clouds once in a while, how can we lament the darkness?
		A devastating moment where Watts' downward-spiralling Cristina Peck chides Rivers for being nice to her ("You can't just tell a woman you like her") is too distant a memory--torpedoed, actually--by Cristina's trembling solidarity as she looms over Paul's waking corpse, her arrested breathing and mucousy sobbing coming off as a plea for a Daytime Emmy.
		21 Grams' time-hopping structure, its most-discussed and least successful aspect, draws attention to how familiar the other elements are; one wonders if Iñárritu leaned on the shopworn (using Penn's piety, Watts' heartsickness, and Del Toro's volatility as flash cards) to make the picture more decipherable.

		"21 Grams," from the director of "Amores Perros," is one of 2003's finest films — a dizzyingly diced up and masterfully acted story about the precious agony of life.
		One of several "dark" holiday films (including the upcoming "Sand and Fog" and "Cold Mountain"), the kaleidoscopic "21 Grams" features three of the year's most astonishing dramatic turns from stars Naomi Watts, Sean Penn and Benicio Del Toro, plus enough jump cuts to give you vertigo.

		Mexican filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu marks his English-language film debut with 21 Grams, a soul-searching follow-up to his equally impressive career debut, Amores Perros.
