Perfectly adorable

Great Film overall

Good idea lost in the noise

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

one of films who remains long time in memory. as a form of experience. itself story of experiences. sure, this is the mark of Almodovar films. so, nothing real surprising. except the feeling of the force of experiences and choices and secrets and silence and need of justice. the theme is present in European cinema from many years ago. but the genius of Almodovar has the science to transform it in universal story. not only about sexual abuse, shadow from the Roman - Catholic Church, Spain after Franco but provocative game of forbidden questions. that is it. and the motif for who Mala Educacion remains a must see. again.

My first exposure to Pedro Almodovar and it's not been a great experience; in fact, while watching I was wondering what all the fuss was about. The story, which was also written by the director, is about a pair of young men who get involved with filming their life story, a life story which just so happens to include child abuse by a local priest in the 1960s.It doesn't sound like the most lively or even enjoyable of premises and, indeed, it isn't. I wondered what I was watching for most of the running time. The narrative is confusing, positing some events as fictional and others as real life, and the use of three different time frames means that it's hard work just to keep up with what's taking place on the screen. The film seems more to have been made to promote a gay agenda, but take out the supposedly controversial material and you're left with very little.There are some very explicit scenes in this film which are neither here nor there, although the acting is of a strong standard and you feel that the actors really inhabit their characters. It doesn't make you like them, though; indeed, they seem self-centred and rather hateful at times. A shame then that the story is so slight and small-scale; I'd much rather watch a film like SPOTLIGHT as an exploration of similar themes.

Another brilliant Almodovar film, with its gritty, transvestite, scenes and very plasticly shot, like all brilliant Almodovar films, though not as good as Talk to her, on a weired way.A must see for all Almodovar lovers, (the best director, in my opinion), Personally I would like to see him using these brilliant actors more, and also, on a tangent use Javier Bardem more (the best actor, in my opinion) This film had a bit of everything, and a large bit of that twisted Almodovar brain in it.A tasty bit of film, with a bit of sex scenes and a feeling left of mystery in the story from start to finish.A clear 8/10 and a must see.

This is an astounding, captivating movie, although I have to admit I didn't fully understand it, at least not at the first viewing. It's the type of movie that is complex and demanding and constantly switches back and forth, and it's still a pleasure to watch (not just an intellectual exercises). And it deals with transvestites and homosexuality and pedophilia and you can still watch it with your mother. It's so driven by the story that it still sucks you in. Pedro Almodovar takes you for a ride you had no idea you could be interested in.I'd recommend this to anyone who's interest goes beyond action movies, and don't be put off by the subject matter or the movie's "art house cinema" status.
