VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

jboy174 The title of the story "Dot the I" shows an expression of putting the I in the center of relationship. It connotes of self-centering over the other. In other words, self-I is portraying an attitude of selfishness, egoistic and the determining subject over the object- You. Thus, everything evolves on the self- I. When I try to look at closely the title itself, it seems that there must have something lacking on it. The "dot the I" expresses actually an action, i.e. I Love. However, It does not give an indication of who the action of loving directed to. The "dot the I" on the story is not referring neither to Kit nor to Carmen, but on Barnaby's self- subjection. He is actually seeing only himself. He does not considering the feelings of other person. So, to make the story more accurate and complete in itself, it should be therefore- I DOT YOU! It implies a complete object and receiver of the action. But, beware! When you learn to love, be wise in loving.The story has indeed projects different areas of concern of man-to-man relationship. It even touches to the deeper shield of one's world, i.e. committed to his internal-external relationship. My in-depth personal assessment on the story simply explicate on human distinctiveness from object or thing. What I am trying to drive out here is that; human life is precious gift. It entails respect and to keep pure and blameless in eyes of God. I don't like the way the story ends. It should not be a tragic presentation- like on the death of the antagonist, Barnaby. But, I guess, it would be more appealing and touching when it will end having reconciled with each other. I would prefer to see how Barnaby converts himself and make peace and reconciliation with Kit and Carmen. This would allow us, the audience, to reflect in ourselves that in spite of one's wretchedness in life, there is always a room for conversion and reconciliation. In this way, the theme and title of the story end of giving forgiveness which leads eventually to loving one another beyond our human limitations and weaknesses.

serdaretik First of all, the script was perfect, Actings were charming. it was really i need to say it was a movie to watch your eyes locked on screen.. Maybe because i love surprises in story, it really made me feel pleased. this movie gave me what i want from a scenario. i also love Gael Garcia too much. I watch him in Love's a bitch, and bad education. i think he is a wonderful actor. thanks to everyone who has a part, making this film.i recommend this great art of work to everybody. it really needed to be seen.a great piece of art.

Kandarp Mehta I watched 'dot the i' mainly because, Gael Garcia Bernal and Natalia Verbeke are in the lead roles, along with James D'Arcy. I have seen several Spanish movies of Gael and Natalia, and was really curious to see how do they perform in English.I must say that director Matthew Parkhil has the raw material to make it big. This is his first movie and he will improve if he continues working on better scripts. The movie starts in the way a usual love triangle would start. A Spanish girl, Carmen (Natalia) is going to get married to a Britisher, Barnby (D'Arcy) and accidentally bumps into a Brazilian, Kit (Gael), on the eve of her wedding. This results into a frenzied, forbidden but passionate relationship. Even after she gets married, she is not able to get rid of her relationship with Kit. Barnby, a committed lover and a typical loyal husband, is aware of this, and is completely shattered. Unable to cope with the infidelity of his beloved wife, he is on the verge of committing suicide. Wait!!!!!! This all sounds so monotonous! So predictable! But no! The story of this movie is more unpredictable than one can really think of. There is an interesting twist in the plot here, which takes the 'Reality show' culture to task.. To a critical viewer the plot might seem to be too unreal but it is entertaining otherwise.Apart from the plot being over-fictitious, the movie has some more drawbacks. Dialogues are written a bit poorly. In order to build up a story and make the twist look more shocking, (a la Shyamalan), the director has compromised with the cinematic rhythm. The movie is unevenly paced. The cast is international and sale-able. Natalia Verbeke is a perfect choice for the character of Carmen - Latin, passionate and gullible. D'Arcy looks excellent in the pre-twist part of the movie, however, in the post-twist part, he does a good job, but one may feel that something is missing. Gael Garcia is one of the most talented international actors of our times. However, neither his looks nor his accent make him look Brazilian. I have a feeling that he was the weakest link among the lead actors, even though it is not his fault. Natalia Verbeke, innovative plot, good direction, unrealistic twist in the tale, and poor screenplay: all put together fetch 6/10 for 'dot the I'.

jjesto The first half of the story is kind of cheesy, centering on a love triangle, with a pouty, overly dramatic young woman that overreacts to everything, claiming she has a bad temper, so she pouts some more, bitch slaps, throws little fits, to the point of stupidity---so, she's attractive and a little nutty, thats not an original character. I'd read that the film was a thriller and kept waiting for something to change the tone and had just about given up when BANG, there is a major plot twist and then the real story unfolds and takes on a completely different direction. The ridiculousness of the first half of the film was then justified, pretty much anyway. Its not an excellent film, but was worth the watch after all. It was unique indeed.
