Pedro Almodóvar follows his international success All About My Mother with an offbeat drama that explores the friendship of two men brought together under unusual but strangely similar circumstances. Benigno (Javier Camára) is a male nurse whose apartment overlooks a dance studio run by Katerina (Geraldine Chaplin); he often sits on his balcony and watches one of Katerina's students, Alicia (Leonor Watling), and he finds himself becoming infatuated with her. When Alicia is severely injured in an

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.
It's Almodovar's most mature and mysterious movie.
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.
Fans of [Almodóvar] will enjoy the themes he has recycled and revisited.
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.
The film combines sensuality, spirituality and sheer joy in storytelling in marvellously harmonious proportions.
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.
One of the best movies i've seen in a while. Great story, great acting. Pathos out the yingyang.

Talk To Her is an offbeat, mature, and mysterious story of passion; and the unappreciated admiration that has developed into something controversial and bizarre. In the most perverse scenario, a lovely story.
