-
A somewhat harsh critique of a Spanish culture that dooms women to indentured servitude.
May 4, 2005 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… -
Diverting, with a light suggestion of talent.
January 1, 2000 | Full Review… -
When Almodóvar attempts a plot the film becomes tedious.
August 30, 2018 | Full Review… -
Vacant black comedy.
March 5, 2014 | Rating: C+ | Full Review… -
Almodovar's fourth feature (but the first to be released in the US) may be one of his most realistic films, an offbeat, darkly humorous feminist comedy with a great performance by Carmen Maura.

It's all a lot like early period John Waters -- only better acted and set in Madrid.

Audience Reviews for What Have I Done to Deserve This?
-
Mar 18, 2014The movie by Almodóvar himself is classified as a "Neorealist film." History lesson: I've studied Italian Neorealism and I can assure you that in no way does a film that has a character that can move objects with her mind come even close to "Neorealist." Nice try. I'm beginning to understand that this man has no clue what he's doing.Jason 123 D Super Reviewer

Jul 02, 2013I can finally cross this early Almodovar off my list and am happy to have done so. As usual, the stars are those just scraping by and having to do all sorts of jobs to do so. The humour is great and the relationships well formed.John B Super Reviewer

May 30, 2013An early Almodovar from when he moved away from the punk-style of his first films. You can definitely see hints of what would become...Marcus W Super Reviewer

Oct 20, 2011It's a mish mash of the typical Almodóvar plot lines and characters, and though the stew never comes as consistent as it should and many of the threads are left hanging up in the air at the end, it's still a worthy entry in his oeuvre.Matheus C Super Reviewer
