Critic Reviews
-
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Diverting, with a light suggestion of talent.
-
Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
Almodovar's fourth feature (but the first to be released in the US) may be one of his most realistic films, an offbeat, darkly humorous feminist comedy with a great performance by Carmen Maura.
-
Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
It's all a lot like early period John Waters -- only better acted and set in Madrid.
-
Nick Schager, Lessons of Darkness
A somewhat harsh critique of a Spanish culture that dooms women to indentured servitude.
