The performances were perfection and the storytelling just got into our bones. This is Almodovar and Banderas at their very best.
A powerful and colourful story of a burdened protagonist.
Antonio Is doing a marvelous Job, as always with director Pedro. It's a slow and complex film with great payoff.
Liked the aesthetic and clever production of the film. Camera work was impressive, caught my eye the most. Story in itself is a good one too
This film is very subtle and nuanced, and flows very smoothly from scene to scene. Overall very enjoyable.
A heartbreaking drama about an aging filmmaker. Antonio Banderas' best role I think. Beautiful.
Heartbreaking and breathtaking. The Fellini’s style reminiscent plus the original engaging plot makes the movie one of the modern pearls
A beautiful, meta, and intelligent film with a lovely lead performance by Banderas. Almodovar’s best work in a while.
Incredible painful and passionate, partial autobiography film about a filmmaker full of regrets and memories.
Deep and meaningful. Great performance from Banderas
