I always felt like I had info, just not ALL the info. I loved the slow unwrapping of the truth; it’s a complex story exquisitely told
How can storyline be so absurd and emotional at the same time? This movie is why I fell in love Almodovar, still ranks among his best works!
This was my first introduction to Gael Garcia Bernal and now he’s one of my favorite actors.
Complex and unsettling, but well constructed
Sort of interesting movie that’s made better by the acting. Gael is amazing. He gives earnest performances in this, playing 2 characters
In my opinion, best of all Almodovars work. Yes, there were many great ones but this is the most difficult, multilayered and emotional one
It mixes the film noir with a story about molestation. It is very good
Self proclaimed as Pedro Almodóvar's most personal film. It's also one of his best. A absolute must.
Captivating film although it is quite long.
A dark melodramatic thriller that gets you hooked from the beginning. Layers of metafiction and gorgeous direction make it exceptional.
