Olivia T I really enjoyed the setting of this movie, especially the apartment, with the terrace. The many plants, the chickens, the beach ball, the fake grass mats, all of the bright colors give a dreamy and hazy atmosphere that further perpetuates the confusion and detachment that Pepa is stuck in throughout the movie. The characters were wonderfully cast, the plot is melancholic and funny. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review Lucas A It's really charming. It narrates wemen chasing after a man who deceives them (story also replicated in his son), ending up turning them against each other. At first glance it seemed a little mundane to me, but it lifts up it's interest with the scenes that occur once people start arriving at the apartment. The man's final rescue scene is very, very bad. However, the last 30 minutes left a sweet taste. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/24 Full Review Jhosep G The way the story develops and unfolds itself using so little setting is amazing. And the way everything ends up being related, makes you get pretty immerse in the story. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/24 Full Review Alec B I like the way the legacy of Franco's dictatorship is sort of unspoken motivation for each of the older characters. It's still a farce, but one where the stakes feel real. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/03/24 Full Review Kevin L Quite clever, well-paced, and a number of laughs amid the soap satire and farcical melodrama. I didn't recognize Banders until like twenty minutes into the movie. But credit that mostly to the skill of Almodovar and his cast more than his being so young at the time. There's a dated, 'of an era' feel to the film, but I could've also watched years sooner. Still, good fun with the likes of Maura, Serrano, Montesimos (the wacky cabby), Manver, and De Palma. 3.4 stars Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/23 Full Review Alexsander F Fellini sempre falava que, "antes de tudo um filme é um quadro" e este filme do Almodóvar é sim um quadro, uma obra-de arte.
