Walter Goodman New York Times 01/10/2018
Mr. Almodovar, who wrote as well as directed, does not quite bring the events together, but his wry attitude toward conventional morality is not lost, and the acting is sufficiently controlled to keep the characters from running away into farce.

Plenty of premise but little payoff. Go to Full Review Justine Smith Vague Visages 06/06/2024
The film operates like a high key sitcom, where camaraderie overrules plot contrivances. However, unlike the pithy misunderstandings of American primetime television, character development overrules the drama of sex, drugs and money. Go to Full Review Mark Seneviratne Vague Visages 03/26/2024
There is never the sense that Almodóvar is mocking the human being... Go to Full Review Michael Bronski Gay Community News (Boston) 09/13/2022
A treasure box of wit, sentiment and sly emotional insight. Go to Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) 06/22/2022

alan g @agenser Sep 27 An extremely sick and twisted film. Sacreligious. Pedro Almodovar is not an auteur but an emotionally sick individual. He is not talented. His films deserve to be banned and destroyed. See more Jean V. @jean05 Aug 18 Entre tinieblas es un filme atrevido, irreverente y provocador, que satiriza la Iglesia católica desde un convento habitado por monjas adictas, reprimidas y deseosas. Aunque la trama resulta desordenada y la comedia irregular, la película tiene valor como pieza histórica dentro de la Movida Madrileña: un cine que rompía tabúes y desnudaba la hipocresía social. Como entretenimiento, se queda corta; como documento cultural, es clave. Calificación personal: ★★☆☆☆ (2/5) See more Massoud H 01/29/2023 One of my favorite films of all time! Too much to say. So nuanced and crazy and heartfelt. See more 01/28/2022 With hilarious and dramatic moments, Almodóvar is at his most profane and fun, providing vehicles for the tremendous work of the cast and drawing the early lines that would outline his career. See more s r @ScottR 01/16/2021 Gave it a shot, it was not good in an 80s sort of way. Saw it on TCM. See more слободан е 12/31/2020 Crazy Almodovar's phase! Unrealistic but fun.
