Beatriz at Dinner

She was invited, but she’s not welcome.

Beatriz, an immigrant from a poor town in Mexico, has drawn on her innate kindness to build a career as a spiritual health practitioner in Los Angeles. Doug Strutt is a cut-throat, self-satisfied billionaire real estate developer. When these two opposites meet at a dinner party, their worlds collide and neither will ever be the same.

Cape Argus / The Star Leslie Felperin A movie you can make a meal of.	10
24.com Ilan Preskovsky It's clearly very well-intentioned and has enough talent to burn on both sides of the camera but the film is simply nowhere near as profound, as moving or as engaging as it thinks it is.	5
