March 19, 2009Beautiful, poetic, and funny often in unexpected ways until one character made a decision to do something to some girl in a coma that resulted in some other thing that I can't mention here, but this certain something took me completely out of the picture.

October 25, 2009I don't quite understand the ridiculous praise that this movie received. It was entertaining, and dealt with some depressing material with an interesting and clever tone. I liked it, but I'm not in love.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Combines improbable melodrama (gored bullfighters, comatose ballerinas) with subtly kinky bedside vigils and sensational denouements, and yet at the end, we are undeniably touched. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Pure cinematic intoxication, a wildly inventive mixture of comedy and melodrama, tastelessness and swooning elegance. full review

February 2, 2007IMPRESIONANTE!!
Almódovar nos presenta una película compleja, con personajes extraños y familiares a la vez. Está muy bien escrita, y la narración es muy efectiva, además de contar con un muy buen ensamble.Muy recomendable.
