It's a noir-thriller about metaphysics and family matters (forgiveness, grief...) Reminded me a lot the style and drama of a very recent movie Angel of mine.

A real glued- to- screen thriller with enormous suspense.

Enjoyed very much this you- just- don't- know- the- solution- until- the- end! This is a movie you have to watch VERY attentively, otherwise you wont get the answer. Dont go to the kitchen to search for food in the fridge!

The movie was very expected in the cinema lovers' circle. Last week an interview with Almodovar in the Vanity Fair about the movie. But this piece was just too boring. Yes, it's a high quality autobiopic but lacks action. In some sense there is a lot of feeling of Cuaron' s Roma but from a very diffrent perspective, of course. Banderas is great but had always that sad face expression, I just think does Almodovar really feels so bad (in the interview he kinda mentioned it) he wanted to make us to suffer as well? There were quite a few parallel plotlines, as 50% of the movie is director's Salvador memories of his childhood and his mother. But the stories about his olden days' love and his strong but ageing mother lacked a lot emotional explosion we usually feel in the movies about such things. I expected to cry a bit in this movie, but at maximum had one half-tear. Must say that cinematography and costume design is really good. Very colourful movie.
