dave s It's difficult to pinpoint exactly what Pedro Almodovar's Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! is all about. Stockholm Syndrome, perhaps? Maybe the fact that all relationships have a degree of possessiveness? Or maybe just an off-center romantic comedy? Hmmm. After being released from a mental hospital, Ricky (Antonio Banderas) abducts the love of his life, Marina (Victoria Abril), an actress he had a one-night stand with the previous year, with the intent of making her love him. Despite being extremely well-made (great performances, wildly colorful, intriguing but disturbing story), the whole thing feels ugly as Marina is beaten, held against her will, and tied to the bed repeatedly throughout the film. The film may have worked better if the comedy had been removed and been handled like a thriller, or if the violence had been removed and the movie handled in some way like a comedy. As it, though, it all just feels really uncomfortable. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review слободан е A nice film. Not too serious though. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A crazy horror romcom. What to make of it? There are moments of genuine horror, genuine tenderness and genuine comedy, but combining them in the central relationship is hugely problematic, and ultimately it just doesn't work. Still worth the watch, even only for the luscious Morricone score. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful shots, radiant colors, great performances and an insane screenplay. Almodovar tells a mad love story in an eccentric way. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A well made movie which ask the viewer to get rid of logic in order to get through it Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review FERNANDO K Um filme de certo modo cômico e, ao menos para mim, mostra que podemos ver graça atà (C) com relação a temas intrigantes e difíceis de se digerir tal como o amor doentio e obcecado que os protagonistas possuem. O filme retrata basicamente uma das facetas do amor atravà (C)s de um lente bem doentia, lunática, mas que na minha opinião à (C) amor. [spoiler]Antonio Banderas mostra ao longo de várias cenas que ele sofre, apanha, se machuca (em corpo e mente) para ficar com a garota em que à (C) perdidamente obcecado. Se, o fato de sua companheira se apaixonar por ele no final, seja por uma "síndrome de estocolmo" ou por um amor repentino, à (C) difícil dizer, aliás talvez algo que o próprio Almodóvar deixou para que os espectadores decidam .[/spoiler] à um filme interessante para aqueles que gostam do trabalho de Almodóvar. Para os que não curtem, sinto que não à (C) uma grande recomendação ou, ao menos, não à (C) um dos melhores filmes para se começar a ver de sua obra completa.
