In Reply to: "Nobody in the film was exploring solutions." - Arguably, that may be one of the film's problems, but ... posted by Audiophilander on January 11, 2007 at 23:48:10:
It's a film about transformation and hope. Maybe it speaks most loudly to those who inherently conneect to those themes.If one needs "scientific" reasons for the conditions at the beginning of the movie and the hope at the end then one is bound to be disappointed (even if only a little).
Don't piss on my shoe and tell me it's raining.

Not being especially enamored of the slice-of-life school of filmmaking Cuaron's efforts may be lost on me, but I suspect it has more to do with my appreciation of films that aren't totally open ended. Also, I like to be surprised in movies; in my opinion there were very few surprises plot-wise in CoM. It still merits high marks for those scenes which worked flawlessly well, for the superb acting and it's direction.
