Not the most welcoming of titles and the first half of the film is pretty much as you?d expect from the title, a little depressing and wondering where it?s all heading. It?s certainly not a film that builds up into a big climax, but the second half does get a little better, woul...( read more)

Unbelievable anf fun situations throughout with a very nice cast and desperately hilarious performances. One of the best films to start with Almodovar.
67/100
