When it comes to Pedro Almodovar, the results is always hit and miss. Sometimes, his story seems just like another soap opera, done by a far better talent, but still, a soap opera…but when the proportion is right, the result is a great film (Volver) or even a masterpiece (Talk To Her).

All About My Mother, for me, fall into tthe former category. This film feels too ‘melancholistic’ for me, and with a predictable conclusion ahead. The fact that i anticipated All About My Mother, since many people said that this is his best work, only hurts me more (since i so goddamn curious, if Talk to Her is so great, what was his masterpiece looks like ?). But i must accept, that i did not go the way other people around. This is among his weakest work, sorry.

Alberto Iglesias is always brilliant, though.
