"Not sure why it's listed as comedy, but it's a brilliant, nuanced drama that is beautifully emotional. Almodovar is such a genius"

"It's way more drama than comedy. Cayetana Guillén, Penelope Cruz and Cecilia Roth were great in their roles. "
Melissa Gan
"I watched this one on a whim, and the movie had such charm to it. A complete spin by showing grieving in a different way. "
