Movie Reviews

Boston Globe - 10/10 by Jay CarrWith Maura delivering an explosive performance, Almodovar presents Pepa's tale with real gusto--with vibrant colors, gaudy personality, mad jokes and a sexiness that erupts off the screen.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 9/10 by Jay ScottThis is painless sexual politics, a fiendish comedy full of prickles and pain and the bright shiny pinks of a matador's cape. The farce falters from time to time, the pace is imperfect, but who can resist this "Twilight Zone" of limitless coincidences?
Washington Post - 8/10 by Desson HoweGorging on the bad, bad world of TV soap operas, tabloid news and those Roy Lichtenstein cartoons where anguished women lament their lives with "Brad," Spanish director Pedro Almodovar gets a wonderful rise out of life's lows in Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.
Empire - 8/10 by David ParkinsonAn explosion of garish colour, wacky detail and surreal complications, Almodovar’s very funny, urban comedy overflows with the unexpected. See it!
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumThe results are high-spirited, with nice ensemble work from Almodovar's team of regulars, but the playlike structure (originally derived from Cocteau's The Human Voice but drastically reworked) is disappointingly conventional.
Christian Science Monitor - 8/10 by David SterrittThere's some sexually tinged humor and a bit of foul language, but most of the action is lightheaded fun. The picture also has a striking visual style - showing what a strong talent Almod'ovar can be when he focuses his energy on cinematic values, instead of dreaming up provocative stunts that put his work beyond the pale for many moviegoers.
Time - 7/10 by Vincent CanbyThe pace sometimes flags, and there are scenes in which the comic potential appears to be lost only because the camera is in the wrong place. Farce isn't easy to pull off, but Mr. Almodovar is well on his way to mastering this most difficult of all screen genres.
User Review - 10/10 by azco98Almodovar's best film yet. Hilarious, well acted and well written. A love letter to the stylish and crazy live that Spain lived in the 80's. Carmen Maura is brilliant.
User Review - 10/10 by alejandro970Cómo pueden estar relacionados unas mujeres desengañadas, un taxista fanático del mambo y unos terroristas chiitas? Solo que hay dejarse llevar por la curiosidad y experimentar el humor típico de Almodóvar y sus coloridos personajes femeninos. Busquen a un joven Antonio Banderas, años antes de ponerse en el aparador mundial.
User Review - 9/10 by gabrielsuHilarious! Good as any other Almodóvar's comedies. The women are the central piece of this masterpiece and it's impossible don't fell in love with any of them.
