I just got back from an early screening and it's up there with his (Almodovar) other recent movies (Talk To Her, All About My Mother).
It's familiar stuff by now, the whole family melodrama thing, but it's done very well. The sentimentality is never really irksome.
I thought it had a greater dose of 'comedy' over the dark material, so it's more uplifting than talk to her was.
penelope cruz was very good too.
anyone else seen this? going to see it? rate almodovar?
