Reviews:
"Only someone as talented as Almodóvar could have mixed such elements without blowing up an entire movie" - Hollywood Reporter
"Though I usually take pleasure in Almodovar's sexy darkness, this film induces queasiness" - Chicago Sun-Times
"It may take a day or two before you figure out whether you actually like it. You could spend the first 24 hours merely trying to figure out what it is you just saw" - Washington Post
