Critic Reviews

Janet Maslin, New York Times
[Labyrinth of Passion]...shows off the bright, gaudy visual style, the breezy manner and the exuberant energy that are Mr. Almodovar's particular virtues.

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
An early and rather choice effort from Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar.

Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
Almodovar's second film is, among other things, a satirical critique of mainstream culture definition of love
