  1. Simply outstanding! Heartfelt with wonderfully interesting characters, if this film doesn't move you then you're not human! The champion of cinema that celebrates women, Almodovar is an absolute genius! Expand

    Honest bittersweet portrayal of life’s experiences from an assertive woman’s perspective. Love, loss and friendship. Beautiful and life affirming.
