    Not my favorite Almodóvar to date, but the dark humor, when it's working, is very good. I asked you all a few weeks ago if you could think of a movie where the Catholic Church comes out smelling like a rose. I'm still thinking about that.

    From ShellyLuca: "Catholic Spanish dark humor....( or Traumatized Catholic humor )"

    Tho with alot of surprises & starring all our fav Almodovar actors, the story was still not up to par. See it to say u have. See TIE ME UP, TIE ME DOWN.

    weird, amazing, Pedro Almodovar is a GREAT DIRECTOR!!!

    A strange B-movie, that's also a satire of religious life.

    Amazing cinematography, a nice cast and few glimpses of a mature Pedro Almodóvar ultimately lose out to its god-awful dubbing, which made me take out the DVD.

    El magnifico Pedro Almodovar esta vez entra en la intimidad del convento de las Redentoras Humilladas.
    Monjas muy particulares que tendrán que defender su orden

    Very Almodovar! If you aren't into older movies then this movie is not for you! I loved it, was amazed everytime the nun was doing drugs! Oh and the nun on acid, hilarious!

    Nuns writing romantic novels, nuns having a full-grown tiger as a pet, nuns wo take heroin daily, lesbian nuns... you see it all in this movie. But the style is very much eighties and not really well-made. I wouldn't recommend it because of the plot either.
