Almodovar again tries to tell a story about women, in which we could classificate it as one of its poorest jobs.

I consider to be a huge fan of his films, but this left me quite cold and really seem to me to be too artifitial sometimes. Probably, Emma Suarez is one of the few successes of the film. Maybe, we should start to think that the way of filming that Almodovar has, does not get older that well. Expand

Despite fine performances, beautiful cinematography and gorgeous locations, these attributes aren't enough to overcome the inherent shortcomings that keep this offering from reaching a level it aspires to but can't possibly attain. In many ways, the film feels too much like a made-for-TV Lifetime movie only with better production values, a rather disappointing effort from a director capable of so much better. Expand
