The above statement is, indeed, a rather bold and no faint praise, to say the least. Pedro Almodovar is one of the best directors of all time, and an immense auteur.
But this english debut film from him is indeed maybe the best, most poignant, subtle and beautiful outlook at life, friendship and artistic integrity that he has made as of yet.
The actors all do an incredible job, as one would expect from such legendary actors, and it is a rather career defining, emotional and all around incredible affair. Very beautifully written and paced, to say the least.
The cinematography, cutting and editing is beautiful, very much in line with Almodovar's style, and accompining the tone of the film splendidly, very beautifully put together indeed.
Overall, definitely an incredible film that is highly recommended for any lover of film and fans of Almodovar!
