Ilan Preskovsky quote iconAnd yet, and yet... the film as a whole just refuses to coalesce into something that I can truly embrace. Admire, certainly, but even reservedly love? Unfortunately, not.

Leon van Nierop quote iconDit is meer intiem en bedaard as Almodóvar se vorige rolprente, en kry 10/10 as die jaar te beste rolprent.
