Leave your thoughts about High Heels.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertAn Almodovar film is always an exercise in style, but High Heels also generates narrative energy and mystery, and provides what was, for me, a genuine surprise at the end. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrA stylish but disappointing spoof which lacks the satiric gusto of director Pedro Almodovar's earlier works. |
| EmpireMat SnowWe get a mother-daughter murder melodrama even more farfetched than the Joan Crawford classic, Mildred Pierce, on which this would appear to be loosely based. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonHigh Heels becomes mired in its own best intentions - primary colors and all. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumThose who miss the wildness of his premainstream work will probably be only partially appeased. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittThe story is stylishly filmed and acted with high spirits, but there's not much going on in many of its colorful shots. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrHigh Heels has no real mirth and not even enough energy to keep it lively. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonIt feels more like a prosaic knockoff than a classically inspired original. |
| User ReviewJeBjBoA dance number in a women's prison! A murder mystery! A love triangle! Drag cops! Marisa Paredes! Colors! |
