All About My Mother Reviews

---

another touching grand opus from a great director who continues to get better
almodovar glorifies women! remarkable in its refusal to patronize, and it has all the touches youve come to expect. i laughed, i cried ...


Interesting, but incoherent
The problem with this foilm is it's not sure whether to be melodrama or not. The plot is very dramatic and fanciful, (e.g. all the characters seem to form instant strong bonds with one another - a lot of people rave about how the film is a great study of female relationships, but the trouble for me is that too many of them are too out of the ordinary), yet the acting and directing is often very earthy, heartfelt and expressive in a very homely way. So I'm not too sure about what to make oof it really.

I think "Talk to her" is a far greater achievement, where the film feels far more coherent.
