First off I want to say that I'm not going to write about neither the plot nor the contents of this film, while it's rather unnecessary.
The best way to describe "Dirty pretty things", is in my opinion, that it is like a beautiful poem. It flows easily and because of the fact that the cast are such good actors/actresses, almost every scene in the film affects you in some way.
This is certainly not another Hollywood flick, because of the fact that it is so realistic. At times you actually forget that you are watching a film.
Chiwetel Ejiofor, Audrey Tautou, Sergi López and the rest of the brilliant cast were new to me but I am going to keep following their careers, as I am hopeful that they will rise and get recognized for the great actors that they are.
I strongly recommend this film, for it is most certainly like a breath of fresh air in the otherwise monotonous movie jungle...
I easily give this film a 9 out of 10.
