Great, lovable characters, great acting, utilizes every trick in Almodovar's book. Perfect blend of tragedy and comedy, and brilliant retelling of several classic plays/films/etc. The problem I have is that it simply unfolds too fast and doesn't give us enough time with the characters. It could easily have been half an hour longer and would only gain in impact. This really diminishes the film for me in comparison to the extremely well-developed worlds of, say, Talk to Her or Volver.

An absolute gem. Almodovar achieves a profound bittersweetness, depth and honesty similar to Kieslowski. Among the themes are motherhood, surrogate families, the roles women play in each other's lives and gender identity. Intensely warm and moving, sorrowful but with marvelous splashes of humor. The actresses are uniformly excellent, and none more so than Cecilia Roth in the lead. Also, the photography is gorgeous and it's got an exquisite score, reminiscent of Baladamenti's work.

All About My Mother is a sleazy, melodramatic soap opera of a story that's been injected with massive amounts of depth and style. It's serious and you're supposed to take it seriously, but it's not too serious and sometimes you're supposed to laugh at it as well. There were moments where I thought the soap opera elements were getting too prominent for comfort, but they never lasted long. This is a sad, complex and stylish movie.
