The movie's expressive moments-and there are many-are largely uprooted, decontextualized, and dematerialized, planted like index cards rather than allowed to unfold and to develop. Oct 11, 2019 | Full Review…

"Pain and Glory," all about healing rifts and rejoining life, is personal and universal. It's also simple in a way that's incandescent - suffused by a strange and beautiful gentleness of spirit. Oct 7, 2019 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

Painful for sure, but glorious too, Pain and Glory is Spanish wunderkind Pedro Almodóvar's best and most moving film in years-a brave and wrenching self-portrait of an aging artist under the siege of age and the fear of death. Oct 4, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

The script, penned by Almodóvar, doesn't go deep enough to be considered either a great character study nor strong situational drama. While this is a laudable minor film worth seeing, in a pantheon of many great projects and at least two masterpieces... Oct 14, 2019 | Full Review…

[Antonio] Banderas saves the day and is a revelation as his mentor's alter-ego. His nuanced performance fills in the cracks of this moderately engaging and slightly indulgent self-portrait. Oct 14, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

One of the best pictures of 2019. Antonio Banderas, Asier Etxeandia, and Leonardo Sbaraglia that shine brightest in Almodóvar's 21st full-length feature. Oct 13, 2019 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…
