I am slowly getting into Almodovar’s works. This one might be my favorite https://boxd.it/2GNw9h

This is a very interesting movie. It follows along two tracks: the first (and final) track is about unearthing a historical mystery, the other is about rectifying a devastating mistake. The acting is excellent (Penelope Cruz was nominated for an Oscar for this). The ending is very European, by which I mean, the resolution is not on the personal level but on a global note. I am not European so I find the unfinished elements, of the relationship that they spent so much time articulating, a little unrewarding. However, I give the film an 8 (moving) out of 10. [Drama]

Very disjointed story. It's two films in one, with seemingly no reason why they are mashed together: the dead ancestors side plot, and the [spoiler] "hospital oopsy" [/spoiler] rammed in the middle. A very unnecessary [spoiler] hookup [/spoiler] that ads nothing to the story, and almost no resolution to the whole [spoiler] swapped baby [/spoiler] deal other than _guess they got over it and lived happily ever after_. Also the constant "fade to black" jumps between time periods just felt super cheap and almost like a commercial break was coming. All in all, watchable but would not recommend (Despite it being a free outing that INCLUDED a large soda and popcorn).

These people complaining about two different plots missed the point and what they have in common: death and identity. Also, is this the first film they've seen where a movie doesn't move in a straight line?

While I gave this film a decent rating I was also somewhat disappointed by it. As the great comedian Patrice O'Neal once said, sometimes the hardest part about watching a movie is trying to figure out how to watch it. For example, in the beginning of the film I had a hard time trying to figure out More

So much in this movie seemed to be incomplete.
How did the women go from being separated because of the revelation of the babies’ real parentage, to suddenly back together, especially after we see Penelope Cruz’s character sleeping with her ex??
Also, was sleeping with her ex planned in order t More

"Parallel Mothers holds an unexpectedly shocking narrative about motherhood, featuring two remarkable performances from Penélope Cruz and Milena Smit.

Parallel Mothers bespeaks a creative fatigue on the part of writer/director Pedro Almodóvar. Not only is it too similar to his very uneven Julieta from just six years ago, but also rather hard to take seriously – and there is no reason that we should have to or even that he would want us to; the More
