Biutiful (2010)

A man finds he only has a few months to live. He is separated from his wife and takes care of their two children. He works supervising the illegal work of illegal immigrants. He reunites with his wife for a while.

Not a very interesting film. It seems to believe that conveying intense emotion is enough to grab a viewer's attention. The plot has some interesting elements, but apparently there was not the will to make them into an exciting whole. Too many subplots lead nowhere  and the main plot (whatever you think it is) doesn't lead anywhere very interesting either. Anyway I gathered from the movie that immigrants are not only good but necessary, because without them who will take care of our children when we die?
