Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

betty dalton Definitely not suited for the masses. Only for arthouse movie fans this picture might be an interesting portrait of a clash between the have and the have nots, between the rich and the poor, at the dinner table.The story is about a bunch of rich, yet corrupt real estate investors who accidentally invite a poor masseuse, (Salma Hayek) who has fallen victim to the destructive effects of those very same real estate investments.What is special about this movie is the personal relations we all have with people that might be dear to us, but unknowningly have totally other worldly views, that are exactly opposite to our own and even endanger those precious values that we believe in. Promising start, but a rather vague and unsatisfying ending. The subject is only interesting for those who care about saving the world for future generations. The direction isnt that special that I would care to praise it. Neither is the photography or soundtrack. "Beatriz at Dinner" is only interesting because of its subject matter. If you are interested in holism and saving the world then this movie can be an interesting watch. Salma Hayek plays excellently by the way, in a role and as a character we havent seen of her before.

jslezak52 Leave your agenda for your public life. Beatriz was a guest in another person's home and she forgot her friend had invited her to stay. Found the movie character obnoxious, even if everything she said was true to her conscience.

akatsha While the individual performance of actors in general is good( Jay Duplass isn't counted), the message is troubling. If you want to change the world, then you are alone, isolated, don't know how to behave and even you don't have self-esteem or dignity unless you kill yourself. You can't present an argument with a clear message. Yeah the movie sounds like to present and defend better approaches but in reality it says this life. Beatriz couldn't even let anyone one rethinks their views. The only solution she came up with is to kill either the bad guy or herself!

skavousi First of all, the acting is amazing. However, the story and plot is what really spoiled this movie for me. The story is very flat, there are good people and bad people and no complex character or complexity in the plot. Completely predictable. There are no layers to the story. You end up not caring about any of the characters, but also get pissed off at them all, both left and right. Very uninteresting movie.
