So, Ssabee, I notice nothing in your comments that answers the most important question in the movie: beard or no beard? As Gael Garcia's number-one fan club president, I figured this would be the first thing you'd comment on : )There is no doubt in my mind that Gael Garc

My second Almodovar film. His narrative style, which seems largely akin to Spanish film, is interesting, volleying between slightly soap opera-esque and art house. There is something kind of cartoonish about his works which can be kind of endearing but sometimes falls a little...( read more)

A dazzling exercise in storytelling -- and a loving tribute to the power of cinema. full review
Almodovar wants to intrigue and entertain us, and he certainly does, proving along the way that Gael Garcia Bernal has the same kind of screen presence that Antonio Banderas brought to Almodovar's ear... full review
It's best not to spill too many more beans -- only to say that Gael García Bernal is the real thing. full review
pulses with florid passion... it may be the best film of the year. full review
