Movie Reviews of All About My Mother
Movie Review: All About My Mother
Summary: 5 Stars
A splendidly absorbing, character-driven drama with lots of twists and turns, Almodóvar's "Mother" is an homage to female actresses and anyone with a maternal instinct. With his trademark visual flair and empathy for fringe feminine types--hookers, transvestites, druggies, and distraught single women in particular--Almodóvar spins an engaging, melodramatic story with heavy allusions to "All About Eve" and "A Streetcar Named Desire." Roth, Paredes, Cruz, and San Juan give marvelously spirited performances, all of which helped the movie win an Oscar for Best Foreign Film. Why not let Almodóvar "Mother" you?Movie Review: One of the best of 1999
Summary: 5 Stars
All About My Mother was a truely entertaing peice of film. To have a film dealing with a transvestite, a pregnant nun, a strange actress, and a grieving mother, it must have been very challenging to make it entertaing. It could of been allot worse from some directors but Pedro Almodovar pulled it off. Even if you have read the subtitles at the bottom of the screen to get it, it's worth it. This film is a real stand out from the rest of 1999's realeses 'cause of it's stellar preformances but above all the story. Overall, All About My Mother was very dramatic, at times, very funny, and very moving. Buy it now!
Movie Review: Sad and Beautiful and Unforgettable Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
In this extraordinary motion picture, Senor Almodovar has taken quirky characters and screwball situations and not played them for cheap laughs. This is one of the most beautiful films I've ever experienced. I know a few filmmakers out in Hollywood who could learn a few things from this unpredictable and superbly acted masterpiece. Great! 1999 produced a lot of outstanding motion pictures, but only a few managed to bring tears to my bleary eyes. This was one of them. Don't you dare miss it.Movie Review: I loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars
It is a complicated film about complicated women, trying to capture, I think, the dynamics of women in general. I think it seeks to answer 'what a woman is' by exploring their relationships with each other, their deepest loves, and purpose in life. Maybe I am just looking at the surface, maybe I am missing the whole boat but it seems that way to me.
I think it would be incredibly difficult to improve this film.
absolutely cool, deeply satisfying, fun, intense.
Movie Review: the power of the woman
Summary: 5 Stars
Although many thought that this movie was ridiculous and hard to relate to, I admit that Almodovar really points out the strength women have in this film.All men are after women, chase women and want to be women. Also the fact that a lot of the characters are so hard to identify with, makes the audience identify more with the only "normal" character Manuela.
This movie is full of symbolism and depth despite the surface of awkward relationships, etc...
highly recommended!
