Excellent Criterion Release

on February 6, 2015

Posted by: CriterionBD

from Ayer, MA

A decidedly non-traditional coming-of-age story from Mexican cinema. The Criterion version is worth it for the improved PQ.

Great premise; weak finish.

from Ayer, MA

Verified Purchase:Yes

Great PQ and sound; worth the upgrade from the DVD.

The film had a clever premise, good acting, and great NYC location shooting. I found the ending didn't stand up to the rest of the film; it's as if the screenwriter ran out of ideas.

My Best Buy number: 2755278741

What's great about it: Clever premise

What's not so great: Conclusion doesn't measure up

Great PQ and Sound

This isn't a review about House. At this point, you either like the show or not.

The BD has great PQ and sound. Better quality than streaming, plus the bonus features.

My Best Buy number: 2755278741

What's great about it: Blu-ray step up over DVD

What's not so great: Early seasons not available on BD

Step Up Over Previous iPads

Verified Purchase:Yes

This replaced an iPad2. What an improvement! Movies look better; I can hold twice as many films; apps are zippier.

Smaller form factor and weight are nicer too.
