Almodóvar's masterwork, is a spectacular synthesis of everything that has always interested him -- proud women, lovely boys, beautiful drag queens, grand movie stars, gorgeous frocks, wild wallpaper .Full Review

Lisa Schwarzbaum
Entertainment Weekly

It weaves life and art into a rich tapestry of love, loss and compassion.Full Review

Janet Maslin
The New York Times

A surprisingly satisfying combination of bawdy sexual humor, genuine emotion and a plot with mechanics so excessive that Almodóvar himself calls it "a screwball drama."Full Review

Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times

Pedro Almodovar's transfixing tragicomedy -- the best foreign movie of the year -- is also the best showcase for actresses in ages.Full Review

Peter Travers
Rolling Stone

A tender genuflection to the women's energies that keep that spinning world from keeling over.Full Review
