Great story line

CRAP SEX (0 more)

This one is written from a different brothers perspective and he is much more likeable I think. I am so gripped with the storyline that I hope that it doesn't fall flat! I am putting up with all these crap sex scenes just to find out what happens in the end!
All these books seem to cut off at the end too, I understand that you need to leave a slight cliff hanger to encourage the reader to continue the series but this is more like a TV episode than a full book

Apr 2, 2020 (Updated Apr 2, 2020)

Almodovar's sixth movie is the one that brought him properly to international attention, but it's clear that his distinctive style was already well-developed by this point: there is the same skilful combination of suspense-movie tropes with sometimes-outrageous melodrama, and a sense of narrative playfulness.

Very strong performances from Antonio Banderas and Carmen Maura in particular, although the script seems to lack some of the deftness and confidence Almodovar would show in later movies - the shift from relationship drama to thriller isn't quite as well handled as one could hope for, and some elements of the story really do strain credibility. Nevertheless, an accomplished and engaging movie.
