Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

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.

duyanoleo So it starts off fairly interesting, although suffering from a total lack of nuance or finesse. As the plot contorts itself realism goes out the window and the script loses itself in it's cleverness. The writers obviously loved their concept so much they could help but overwrite the in-you-face dialogue-heavy climactic scenes in which Kit and the overdone Barnaby reveal the truth. And then there's the terrible conclusion...are we meant to believe that a protagonist who had moral qualms over filming a girl without her consent will laugh and help her kill a man, and then incriminate two innocents for his murder? And then as Kit & Carmen shoot to stardom with a poorly shot, poorly lit digital video movie, they have no regrets, no guilt? This is NOT the Kit character we have been following throughout the film. It's the result of soulless, sloppy writing for the sake of a cheap gimmick.

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'.
