Walter Goodman New York Times 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. Jan 10, 2018 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Plenty of premise but little payoff. Rated: C May 3, 2005 Full Review Justine Smith Vague Visages 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. Jun 6, 2024 Full Review Mark Seneviratne Vague Visages There is never the sense that Almodóvar is mocking the human being... Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Michael Bronski Gay Community News (Boston) A treasure box of wit, sentiment and sly emotional insight. Sep 13, 2022 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) A promising film, yet not totally achieved…I can say that I enjoyed this immensely.

Massoud H One of my favorite films of all time! Too much to say. So nuanced and crazy and heartfelt. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/24 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review s r Gave it a shot, it was not good in an 80s sort of way. Saw it on TCM. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review слободан е Crazy Almodovar's phase! Unrealistic but fun. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member these nuns unlike any nuns I've ever met-they know how 2 get their freak on! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 7.3 [Pedro Almodóvar] Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
