Review by philipposathina

I am an Almodovar's fan and of course i have seen all his films so far. To me his best one is "Volver", and i think that Penelope in that one, had her best acting ever. "Madres paralelas", is, like all his films, really exciting to watch. It was near its ending though that i started wondering what i was really watching. The film starts with a certain story, continues with another one, and ends up with the one it started. Some viewers may have found this interesting and smart, to me it seemed quite absurd though. Anyway, Almodovar is a brilliant director and one can hardly reject any of his films, this one included, nevertheless a film storyline should by definition be more concrete that the one in this film and shouldn't go off course that much. Others may see it as another Almodovar's geniousity, i found it rather awkward.
