In John’s Words:

21 Grams is a 2003 American crime drama film directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu from a screenplay by Guillermo Arriaga. The story was co-written by González Iñárritu and Arriaga. The film stars Sean Penn, Naomi Watts, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Danny Huston and Benicio Del Toro. 21 Grams interweaves several plot lines in a nonlinear arrangement. 
The film's plot is about the consequences of a tragic automobile accident. Penn plays a critically ill mathematician, Watts plays a grief-stricken mother, and Del Toro plays a born-again Christian ex-convict whose faith is sorely tested in the aftermath of the accident. The three main characters each have "past", "present" and "future" story threads, which are shown as non-linear fragments that punctuate elements of the overall story, all imminently coming toward each other and coalescing as the story progresses. 
Gonzalez Inarritu deftly weaves an uncommonly structured narrative in a stylish, haunting drama full of great performances. Although it didn’t win any Oscars it was nominated for two including Naomi Watts as Best Actress.
