Like Almodovar's first masterpiece, Women on the Verge of Nervous Breakdown, this vivid melodrama, the auteur's second masterwork, celebrates the resilience and camaraderie of women under duress.
April 27, 2007
All About My Mother, for all its self-deconstruction, is played with more sobriety and conviction than any of Mr. Almodóvar's previous films.

It brims with life.

Almodóvar is able to speak through this melodrama with great mastery to all women... and all audiences for that matter. [Full review in Spanish]

This film is as close to a masterpiece as the director has ever produced.

For me it felt like a good many weeks at a politically correct summer camp.

Hits a number of the right emotional buttons, due in large part to Roth's extraordinary performance.

Thought-provoking Almodovar drama has lots of sex, profanity
