The construction of a personal self, his memories, the many images that compose his life experiences; it's a unique work with some very touching moments.

The ending is some minor miracle, re-contextualising everything that came before it in such a satisfying and nourishing manner. In terms of pleasant surprises, I really enjoyed how quickly the film went from Alberto getting permission to put on the play to the play occurring; I was expecting the play to be the climax of the film, to build up to it over time, where Salvador fully confronts his past upon seeing it shown back to him, and instead my expectations were completely subverted.

A bittersweet depiction of an aging filmmaker looking back at his own life and choices. While it is mostly a slice of life tale without any huge shockers, it also never quite goes as one would expect.

It's a good biography but I've seen better ones of directors wistfully looking back at their country youth. I'm not a fan of drug use in movies so I was glad they didn't do the typical drug trip surreal scene. Cruz did a good job. I didn't pay enough attention to the film to remember much.

I most appreciated details like the repeated shots of Salva kneeling before the cabinet to retrieve his heroin in a kind of mock worship--he goes low to get high. However, the film leaves the heroin use there as a kind of consequence-free choice that belies the nature of the drug. Hazy dream-scape filled with flashbacks isn't enough to compensate for things like that. But the production design is great, as usual for Pedro, the vibrancy of Salva's flat muted by his constant suffering.

Never been the biggest Almodovar fan. His melodrama and repetition of exposition forces me to disengage emotionally and at times makes me cringe. However, Banderas's performance is indeed captivating, only at times feeling unrealistic (that coughing scene early on). I was not a fan of the flashback scenes at all until the very ending. A huge risk of an ending but beautifully done I thought. One of the more genuinely affecting Almodovar films I've seen.

Bir takım hastalıklardan ötürü bedenen oldukça yorgun düşmüş yönetmen Salvodor karakterini görüyoruz filmde. Ama sadece bedenen değil aynı zamanda ruhsal sıkıntılar da yaşayan birisidir. Geçmişi devamlı aklında olan Salvador’un, yaşadığı fiziksel sıkıntılarla birleşen depresifliği onda tarifsiz bir acı yaratmaktadır. Pain and Glory, bir yönetmenin kendini anlatabileceği en olgun sinema dilini içeren çok sade ve güçlü bir film.

Almodovar's own 8½ isn't quite as impressive as Fellini's but it's pretty good nevertheless. Banderas shines, but so does Etxeandia.

Emphatic and unburdened in its sensuality and passion. A lovely color palette. Banderas sells the character's pain and loneliness. His scenes with his mother are touching. The movie as a whole feels a little slight, haphazardly floating on a warm summer breeze. The ending shot improves everything and I have no problem imagining this being a powerful piece of art for someone other than me. Feels appropriate to mention this is my first Almadovar movie ever and I want to watch more in the future.

Deliberately paced, deeply felt masterpiece from Almodóvar requires a degree of patience and attention from its viewer but rewards in spades, thanks to a revelatory turn from Banderas standing in for Pedro in this loose riff on 8 1/2 - captures the feeling of nostalgic rumination expertly, as Mallo weaves in and out of the pained present to a transformative moment in his childhood (Cruz is also excellent in the flashbacks). All ties up with a neat meta-ending which never feels like a cheat.
