Pedro Almodóvar is one of the only directors in the world who has perfected the balance of comedy and tragedy and he proves it in Volver. The cast is excellent and it?s filmed beautifully, it?s brilliant, quite typical of Almodovar!
Although I'm still hoping to see another Almodóvar as amazing as Talk to Her, this is well worth watching. I tell you true, up until I saw this, I did not know that Penelope Cruz could act. She can, and she is amazing in this. Not to mention that she has quite a good si...( read more)
Volver is at first a very powerful and involving film. It certainly has a lot to grab the attention. Murder, incest and people back from the dead are just some of the intriguing ingredients. It continues to amaze and enchant, carried by a wide range of memorable performances. Tow...( read more)
I find impossible to describe the way this movie moved me.
Penelope is the reason God created women, and Almodovar is an uncanny force of nature. Cast, music, words, shots, tears, silence, wind, clothes, color, high heels: everything works like the most beautiful clock in the w...( read more)
Another wonderful motherly attentive film by Almodovar. Though the story takes several tangents and things just continue to happen, it's an enjoyable experience that is very rewarding by the closing credits.
Look for many aspects of this film to be nominated come Oscar night, b...( read more)
To say Volver is good is like saying Americans KIND OF like pizza.
This Guy Over Here picks this as one of the Best Films of the 2000s
i don't know how many times i passed this film just because i haven't seen any almodovar film and have thought this is just another spanish drama, but thank god for the gorgeousness of penelope cruz, it's enough to forced and convince me to finally watch this.,

This movie doesn't have a lot of nice things to say about men who in this movie end up deserving to die for how they treat women... but the focus of the story is about how the women pull themselves together to make things better despite their situation and that in the end, how im...( read more)
No one can say Pedro can't write stories... how odd they most often are though. I still find myself unable to really connect with his movies, or find something really deeply emotionally moving about them. Maybe it's just me.
The Cannes Film Festival jury threw up its hands and gave this year's Best Actress Award to all six of the film's stars. They're so fine that refusing to choose between them was the only sensible choice. full review
Volver has it all: comedy, drama, Penelope Cruz, death and unexpected life, perfectly strung together with a little old fashioned intrigue. full review
What a distinctive filmmaker Almodovar has become. full review
Pedro Almodóvar has made yet another picture that moves beyond camp into a realm of wise, luxuriant humanism.
What a run this millennium for Pedro Almodóvar: one strange and fabulous feature after the next, each in a different style, each so deftly controlled that you hardly register its subversiveness until ... full review
...The film, against my wishes, left me unmoved. full review
This is a movie about mothers and children that dispatches with the usual goopy sentiment. Volver reassures us that you can go home again -- if only in the movies. full review
she is better when she acts in spanish....si ese es su lenguaje natal helloooo!!!! jejeje
Filme FANTÁSTICO, excelente, mistura suspense, comédia e drama. Mas, é um senhor dramalhăo "mexicano", mesmo sendo um filme espanhol. Estupendo! Penélope Cruz está maravilhosa. ADOREI ;D
Fascinante!!!!!!! Esperaba que ganaras un Oscar, tu actuacion fue la mejor que has tenido en toda tu carrera. I work in Hollywood, but follow your carreer since the beginning. You are beautiful and talented. Best Wishes!
