it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Rosie Searle
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

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.

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.

Salma's acting was actually good in this one. she plays a healing hippie who hates all animals getting hurt, and then starts yelling crazy towards a snobby arrogant jon Lithgow, because he killed a rhino. she dreams about stabbing his neck cuz she's so mad, and it turns out her pet goat died earlier that day. then she hops into a cab and drives to the beach and in a trance hops into the ocean. really...bizarre? they should call it Girl who Went Crazy and Commited Suicide. the ending left me with a what the he11 feeling. I didn't like it. wouldn't watch it again nor recommended unless you're really bored.

Salma handled the role amazingly and had that warmth and light in her eyes while acting. This world needs a change and this movie shows that we are all giving up... If someone is maybe willing to speak out on behalf of all people who are suffering from stupid politics and other stuff this is the movie that is going to give them the last push to do it!
