What. A. Movie. It’s steamy in here. Jesus!
Almodovar, like Allen, has a unique style and sensibility. Short movie, weird and sexual. These movies would not be made in the US.
I really found this movie interesting and Banderas delivers an excellent performance.
Something so wrong shouldn’t be so compelling or generate such empathy. Almodovar at his best
As usual, Almodovar deliver us so bloated passion, love, drama, humour just like a latin director could do.
A film that leaves you with such an array of mixed emotions. So unique and good with its sick twisted yet beautiful dark comedic tale.
So interesting story. This is the perfect example of something romantically a-romantic.
Kind of middle of the road Almodovar, but Antonio Banderas delivers one of his best performances.
Lots of color and style, the story is one note and not very interesting. Pretty sensual if you’re into that
Well, it's pretty problematic. But it's just too good.
