What the critics say average 5.8 from 3 outlets
- 7.5 Roger EbertRoger Ebert
"Like Sirk and Fassbinder, Almodovar finds humor in the deadpan depiction of reality, as in a scene where the daughter sits at an anchor desk and reports the death of her husband."
Read - 6.0 EmpireMat Snow
"We get a mother-daughter murder melodrama even more farfetched than the Joan Crawford classic, Mildred Pierce, on which this would appear to be loosely based."
Read - 4.0 The Washington PostHal Hilson
"The story, which features a murderous love triangle among a celebrity mom (Marisa Paredes), her resentful daughter (Victoria Abril), and the daughter's husband -- and the mother's former lover (Feodor Atkine) [...]. Emotionally, it's slack."
