I'm not even entirely sure what to say about this movie. It was sad and moving and surprising and disturbing. The character of Benigno was fascinating to watch in his role of caretaker for his comatose loved one.
I keep on trying to make coherent sentences to put together my thoughts on this movie, and I don't know that I can. I just know that it finished and I sat there wondering what to make of all of it. I may never end up with much of an answer. I don't know how to rate it.
Pedro Almodovar here has put together a movie that, if nothing else, demands a response. Whether of disgust or of compassion or of unease, something must respond to this story. 3.5 stars.
