A powerful and colourful story of a burdened protagonist.
The performances were perfection and the storytelling just got into our bones. This is Almodovar and Banderas at their very best.
A beautiful, meta, and intelligent film with a lovely lead performance by Banderas. Almodovar’s best work in a while.
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.
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
Antonio Is doing a marvelous Job, as always with director Pedro. It's a slow and complex film with great payoff.
Heartbreaking and breathtaking. The Fellini’s style reminiscent plus the original engaging plot makes the movie one of the modern pearls
Incredible painful and passionate, partial autobiography film about a filmmaker full of regrets and memories.
Deep and meaningful. Great performance from Banderas
