    You must be an Almodovar fan

    to truly appreciate this movie. The reenactments of scenes from prior works (Women on the Verge) add a lot of fun to this "movie within a movie within a movie" that Mr. Almodovar loves to employ, or should I say play with (recall movie scenes from Habla con Ella). It's like having a shared experience with the director himself. Although the social value elements are lacking in this piece, compared to other works, this is easily overlooked when compensated by the sheer entertainment value when you realize you were just being smoothly carried through a complicated story told in a very complex way. In the end you can not help but agree that Mr. Almodovar is the BEST director alive today.
