A typical Almodovar. So incredibly colorful that the kitschy thing about it becomes stylish again. It also works well with the soapie story, in which the 5 main characters are connected to each other to the absurd through relationships, intrigue, love and hate. Someone like Sirk, with whom the comparisons are again so obvious that you really don't want to kick in that open door, would almost be ashamed of it. Almodovar doesn't hold back and that's when he's at his best. If you have such an over the top film style and exaggerate in telling a story, it doesn't make any sense. considers it one of his better movies, although most of his movies are of a fairly consistent level. 4 star level.

I pretty much agree with Underdog. Pretty mediocre Almodovar, I've seen better movies by him. In terms of plot line very cliché script in which the five main characters are referred to each other over a period of 20 years. Everything fits together too smoothly like a constructed puzzle. The movie was too made and was too soapy.

In addition, excellent camera work such as the love scenes. It's the cinematography that takes the film to the next level. The atmosphere setting of a Madrid suburb was also well captured. There is nothing wrong with the acting either. An Almodovar with two faces. One that will soon be forgotten, I fear.

The best Almodovar I saw for 15 years or so. Admittedly, I haven't seen that many in the last 15 years either. In the mid-00s I saw a lot of them in a row, with the rather annoying Volver I had had it with him. I recently started doing his movies again. I saw Matador and La Ley del Deseo, both quite a bit short and on the latter I stated that Almodovar's drama has to work or he has to go way over the top. And promptly I see a film in which the drama can be compromised and which is not over the top, but which works perfectly for me. In fact. This is one of his best movies I've seen.

First of all, the film looks better than ever. The drama is on the surface a story full of twists and a coincidence too many, but underneath it lies a pretty fascinating and certainly not superficial film that is mainly about guilt and which several times very convincingly manages to shift sympathy and borrows cleverly and cleverly in terms of storytelling. of melodramas from the studio era. Almodovar puts in enough bits of kitsch to stay true to himself. Am quite surprised. It turns out I wasn't tired of Almodovar, he just turns out to be more erratic than I thought and saw the wrong movies. Once again I ran into a really good one.
