Here Almodovar sets up an intriguing love triangle (or pentagon, I suppose) but unfortunately doesn't go very far with it. The characters are wonderful as always, including the most sympathetic stalker you'll ever see. And the photography is nice, although not quite as strong as his other work. It just didn't go anywhere unexpected. And the political message was just clumsily tacked on. Nice, but not stunning.

Great. Immensely fun to watch, yet you're not just being entertained. Almodovar has a lot to say about life about relationships and sexuality, and refuses to pander to easy sentimentality. It's impossible to dislike any of the characters.

The usual dirty-minded yet boring stuff from Almodovar. Do not believe the trailer for an instant, since it makes it look like one of those "erotic thriller" thingies

there is no main character in Live Flesh like in many other movies by almodovar. In Fact you got five characters and their motive is passion. A word that stands for the most of his movies. Desire that turns into Passion. Bardem acts fantastic ( like always ) and imparts the movie enough depth with his great performance.Live Flesh isn´t so glaring and colorful like his other movies but in my opinion a nice story written by life.

Almodóvar, heavily armed with his standard pots of garish color, but otherwise rather toned down. The tone, in fact, is quite uncertain: not quite light, not quite serious either, a bit salacious, a bit melodramatizing, totally uncommanding. The filmmaker takes little from the original Ruth Rendell novel: the wheelchair and the title, though not even the meaning of the title.

OK. Not really sure it knows what it wants to be. Some complexity of plot through characterisation and their interaction, but lacks spark.

Pulpy 90s erotica, awkwardly bookended by a weak stab at Franco's Spain.
