It’s been a long time since I’ve seen an Almodóvar film and I’m not sure how many I’ve seen. Whatever I’ve seen it was better than this one, whose only purpose seems to be to show how beautiful Penelope Cruz is. Which she is, but this film is chaotic, boring and senseless. 

Many people love it, giving it 9-10*. I don’t.
