Users Reviews

Usual Almodovar
Classic Almodovar film, disturbing and funny, with a lot of style. Good cast with the "reunion" between the director and Antonio Banderas and meticulous direction.
For Almodovar Fans
If you like the Spanish director, you probably don't need me to recommend you this movie. The plot is weird and absurd as usual, but somehow his direction makes it ok.
