  Not worth seeing

  Simply Almodovar
  
  One of Almodovar's best. A simple down to earth story that is beautifully simplistic and raw, told as only he can do.

  Although this film promised to be interesting, it contained too many bullfights and snakes for me. I could not continue watching it.

  Talk To Her
  
  Life isn't black and white, sometimes not even in the movies. Be prepared to sympathise in places you won't feel comfortable.

  This film was too far fetched. The whole cast were seriously twisted in some way. Bad ending to boot.
