User Reviews

Antonio Castillo

Una gran introducción a lo que puede mostrarte Almodóvar.

Nice addition to Almodovar's filmography. An underrated piece

One of the weaker Almodovars work. Wasnt that complex or introspective. Slightly fun. Neither funny nor sad. 6/10

An intense tale of passion. The vivid portrayal of Madrid enhances the film's raw and gripping narrative, making it a must-watch.

Michael Margetis

Definitely one of Almodovar’s lesser films, but still very engrossing (if melodramatic) and it features a great performance by Javier Bardem

I really liked the movie. The antfascist speech... I love it. Maybe not the best of Almodóvar, but is enjoyable.

Nice but kind of forgettable. I'd rather watch other Almodovar films before

Juan Carlos berdugo C

Es arte, una historia genial, tiene todo, una joya.

Underrated. Not as good as other Almodovar movies but for being one of his weakest is still pretty great. Shows what a filmography Pedro has

Has a crazy storyline, like most of Almodóvars films, and is fun to watch.
