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.
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 is easy to read this as an insensitive melodrama that uses the suffering of two women to tell a story about the friendship that grows between two men, but the film is actually so much more than that, full of nuances and taking us in many unpredictable directions.
Super Reviewer
Pedro Almodovar bring more one intelligent and breathtaking drama, with very human characters.
Almodovar is a genius, so enough said? Plot twists are superb. Acting is wonderful. The idea that sex can awaken a sleeping maiden is marvelous--the idea that you can love someone in a totally one-sided relationship is....scary. But see it once, and see it several times to get everything out of it. It's a nice discussion on what romantic love really is.
One of the best movies i've seen in a while. Great story, great acting. Pathos out the yingyang.
