Watch Beautiful People For Free

Excellent but underrated film

Admirable film.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

War-torn Bosnia and multicultural London don't look so very different in Jasmin Dizdar's raucous, riotous, kaleidoscopic film 'Beautiful People'. An initially merciless portrait of both Britons and Bosnians gradually mutates into something more sympathetic, but the picture remains extreme: this is not the subtlest of movies. But there are some fine moments of black humour, and a strong performance especially from Nicholas Farrell as a doctor worn down by life. It's also nice (but sad) to see the late Charlotte Coleman in one of her last screen roles. There's less political content here than you might expect: it's a shallower film than 'Welcome to Sarejevo', and less madly surreal than 'Underground'. But it's still worth watching for odd snippets of brilliance in among the chaos.

I had to lower my rating of this movie to a 4 due to the terrible sound track. I'm pretty sure it was not a problem with me or the tape, because some actors and the sound track sounded great. But most of the actors voices were distorted or garbled beyond recognition, especially for non-brits.There are plenty of cute little twists that would make this an enjoyable movie - ending up in Bosnia by mistake is great - but much of the humor was lost in the sound.

This is a very difficult film to get a handle on, or at least it was at first. As I got to know the characters, I came to love every last one of them, as the film took its time delving deeper into their lives, and eventually, into their souls.What it found was the most beautiful and sad, beautiful and happy parts of our lives, however fleeting they may be. The film is at least a 9/10, and I'd like to cast an 11/10 for the film's poster. The most memorable film image of the decade, if not the century.On the other hand, I could be wrong. I'm just an American.

Beautiful People offers a slice-of-life type look at the messy lives of people in London who are somehow affected by the war in Bosnia. Their stories are kind of interconnected, but in a natural way, not at all contrived. It was refreshing to see how the film combined gritty, realistic stories (the doctor trying to handle his two young sons in the midst of a separation) with some more surreal comedy (the junkie dropped in the middle of war), however, there was one ending that I found to be too unbelievable and not satisfying, and I won't give details of the ending, but it involves the man who was shot in the leg. The movie could have also done without the scene with the thugs reading to the boy -- it was predictably cheesy. Other than that, it a great film, and delivers a really strong message in the end, which explains the title, Beautiful People.
