I was so happy to find out that this film was written by Guillermo Arriaga. Because his previous films which were written by himself had good moral messages. The storyline was also unique. He always shows the story in bits and pieces until the connections between them emerges. The bonds between the characters are shown slowly makes it so mysterious. And there are definitely sadistic scenes that made me cringe in horror. This time the sadistic scene involved slinging a dove and then simply breaking its head without the slightest feeling of mercy.

The difference is now he didn't collaborate with director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarittu anymore. This film is his debut as a director. Based on the information on Wikipedia, this film gets a low rating. I think it might be the problem with the execution. At first it had the aura of the previous films, but in the middle of the conflict it became less strong. And you could say the ending was too quiet, but not impressive (There's a film ending that is quiet but still captivates the audience, right?) As for me, I didn't mind about the execution and how it ended. This film was still good and I enjoyed watching it until the end. Especially because Jennifer Lawrence was in it and her acting was great.

I don't know why I gave this film 10 stars when it was not so amazing. It's been ages ago, I guess. But let me stay to my first feeling when I watched this movie. This is Jennifer Lawrence's first movie and she was awesome. Only showed up a little, but still, It was so memorable. Maybe that was the reason I enjoyed the film, besides the fact that this film was actually enjoyable although not so special. I could see the life in Hollywood and it was tough. The main character really reminded me of Avril Lavigne. She was so cute. I wonder where she was now? Oh, I just remembered that I liked the connections between the characters shown in the end.
