Featured review
Parallel movies
Very good turn by Pedro Almodovar, one of his best films of the last years.
Its a very unpredictable film that seemingly is about a certain topic and turns out to deliver something completely different. An interesting experiment that pays off very well because at one point you realize to watch a completely different movie than you thought you would. Genius.
The acting was great. I really loved Penelope Cruz who was as expected great. Almodovar truly knows how to put his muse in scene. But also Milena Smit was great and both had a wonderful on screen chemistry. Its a fantastic screenplay and had many good elements like a very decent cinematography and great score.
One little issues I had with it was that it had several loose ends, but I think thats because of the nature of the film and how it is written so I think its nothing big to blame it for. I really enjoyed the characters, although they sometimes made weird decsisions but they were extremely well created. A must see and a typical Pedro Almodovar, although not a very typical movie.
