A heartbreakingly direct performance by Javier Bardem anchors Biutiful, a film from Mexican auteur Alejandro González Iñárritu (Babel, 21Grams). Uxbal (Bardem) is not an admirable man: he's a criminal middleman, helping human traffickers and illicit street peddlers in Barcelona. But in the thick of his corrupt and compromised world, Uxbal strives to do some modest good: he demands heaters for the cold basement where illegal Chinese laborers sleep and he carefully scrapes together money for his children, whom he deeply adores. On top of all this, Uxbal can commune with the recently dead, and tries to pass on reassurance to the bereaved. When Uxbal himself is diagnosed with severe cancer, he desperately tries to leave behind something better for his children. This plot summary paints a bleak picture, and there's no question this is--much like Iñárritu's other films, including Amores Perros--an emotionally harrowing experience. But Biutiful is also visually rich and deeply humane, and holds moments of grace that can only be found in sadness and loss. The entire cast brings a fullness of life to all of the characters, no matter how briefly they appear, but Bardem almost never leaves the screen and carries the movie with magnetic force. --Bret Fetzer

Great website – Item in Perfect Condition, Worth the Wait
I ordered a Funko Pop + Tee set from Yachew and had a great experience overall. The item arrived in perfect condition — clean packaging, no damage, and exactly as described. As a collector, I really appreciate when things are handled with care, and this definitely was.
Although the order arrived about a week later than expected, it wasn’t a big deal to me. What stood out most was Yachew’s quick and helpful communication. I had a couple of enquiries along the way, and they responded promptly and professionally, which gave me peace of mind while waiting.
All in all, I’m very happy with the purchase and the customer service. I’d definitely buy from Yachew again — highly recommended!
