It displays a depth and maturity lacking in Almodóvar's earlier work.

Thought-provoking Almodovar drama has lots of sex, profanity
December 24, 2008
Like Almodovar's first masterpiece, Women on the Verge of Nervous Breakdown, this vivid melodrama, the auteur's second masterwork, celebrates the resilience and camaraderie of women under duress.

Almodóvar is able to speak through this melodrama with great mastery to all women... and all audiences for that matter. [Full review in Spanish]

All About My Mother, for all its self-deconstruction, is played with more sobriety and conviction than any of Mr. Almodóvar's previous films.

It's a lovely work.

An emotionally satisfying and brilliantly played take on the ups and (mostly) downs of a group of less-than-typical female friends.

Hits a number of the right emotional buttons, due in large part to Roth's extraordinary performance.
