Almodovar uses the characters' unlikely predicaments to show how we define ourselves by narration, but his story is so overdetermined that ultimately the two men seem as constrained as their brain-dead sweethearts.
Top CriticIt's Almodovar's most mature and mysterious movie.
The film combines sensuality, spirituality and sheer joy in storytelling in marvellously harmonious proportions.
It's a brave movie and a mature undertaking.
Good, but not classic Almodovar.
It is a singularly impressive work, able to generate laughs one moment and tears the next.
no other current director blends comedy and drama as smoothly or with as much flair
Humanity is intricate, contradictory, fathomless here, and the filmmaking just as rich.
I found it slow to get into. But I hung in there and am glad I did because eventually it grabbed me and I ended up enjoying it.
Very few directors could get away with making a film like this, but Almodovar not only gets away with it, he delivers a masterpiece.
Almodovar continues to refine the form of melodrama ... without sacrificing one iota of emotional texture or resonance.
Almodovar beautifully evokes trust and sacrifice.
It's another wild yet thoughtful look at the meaning of life and sexuality from Almodovar.
Even when Aldomovar is obviously showing off, we're convinced that he cares.
