“It’s hard to hold back tears because this movie is very painful and speaks well about love, death and regret, absence (…). The almost systematic restraint that characterizes this film is sublimated by the sadness released from Alberto Iglesias’s very beautiful, muffled and haunting music… Almodovar is a master who often deals with the same issues tirelessly…”According to Stephen C.
The magic of Almodovar! A big, very big one from Almodovar!
“Almodovar makes a triumphant return and his film is a gem. Admittedly, we don’t laugh a lot, but there is such intensity and such skill that we are locked in the little seats. Juliet’s story moves us and both actors are wonderful.“, writes titicaca120.
“Almodovar’s magic surprised me once again! It leaves a mark from the first seconds with its unique touch. A big, very big Almodovar!!!Yoganojunior says.
Pedro Almodóvar’s Juliet review for all viewers
“Almodovar’s touch, devoid of eccentricity, a portrait of a woman highlighted by life’s moments, encounters, heartbreak, everyday life, family and love dramas. Fair, sober, alive, leaving an element of mystery and an unspeakable invasive absence. Great work!“, for Maxens!
Julieta is available on VOD and DVD/Blu-Ray. The Room Next Door is currently in theaters.
