This little masterpiece is not perhaps the most famous Almodovar movie, but it is such a delight to watch it. It is one of my favorite Almodovar movies. Marisa Paredes is superb, a pleasure to watch her on the screen. Overall, this is a movie no one should miss.

I haven't seen an Almodovar movie that I haven't loved. Wish itunes could bring us more Almodovar.

He gets so much right. His understanding of the complexities of the relationship between humans is spot on. He gets the insecurities, the desire and betrayals right. In this unequal game of love and family, he shows us what is happening and makes us the better for it. I love the rich mis en scene he continually creates. Wherever it is, it is always true to his characters and reality. What a fine director. What wonderful movies. My query is WHY does iTunes carry only two of his films. What's up with that! He is such a great filmmaker! More please.

This movie is just wonderful. I've rented it and consider buying it because I feel I could watch it over and over. It gives you stuff to think about, it's full of symbolic meanings, images etc, and at the same it's pure fun to watch it. It's a bit like a fairy tale... I wish Almodovar would more often make a "comedy-romance" (if one wants to call it that). Only very rarey do I happen to watch such a good movie. Almost never.
