Movie Info

Filmmaker Pedro Almodvar, the Luis Buuel of the 1980s, cooks up another perversely funny descent into urban hell in What Have I Done to Deserve This? Carmen Maura plays a middle-class housewife hemmed in by her wildly eccentric relatives. Her principal purpose in life is a balancing act: to keep her head fastened on securely while all others are losing theirs. Film buffs will have a field day toting up Almodvar's visual and verbal allusions to the works of Buuel, Brian De Palma, Billy Wilder, John Waters, and even Andy Warhol. What Have I Done to Deserve This? was originally titled Que He Hecho Yo Para Merecer Esto? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Audience Reviews for What Have I Done to Deserve This? (Qu he hecho yo para merecer esto!!)

  • Mar 18, 2014
    The 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.

    I 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.

    An early Almodovar from when he moved away from the punk-style of his first films. You can definitely see hints of what would become...

    It'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.
